There used to be an old saying.............."If you can't fight, wear a big hat !"

These caps not hats were always available at Droneys Platt Bridge in the 30s&40s,in fact the sign outside the shop was an enormous cap !

Pete. That saying would never, in a million years, be applicable to my cousin James, I can assure you.

No Giovanni. Red rose through, and through.
