Finally, after only a year or so I can understand some of the 'flat cap' references bandied back and forth on Xmarks. Someday the dandelion thing will come to light too- perhaps. But I will throw in my own personal associations with flat caps, which are as follows:

flat cap= Andy Capp= cockney thug= London= South of England= not Scottish. QED.

Tractor/baseball caps now, they are a different story, a major badge of egalitarianism in North America and the only practical headgear for men in hot sunny weather. OK, unless a Panama or other type of straw hat can be worn. And referring back to the original thread, I guess PJ doesn't go outside much.
