Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Have you (or someone you know) removed the brim from a (cheap) top hat and still been able to wear the hat?

You could put your top hat question on top hat?

I clicked through to that :-) Not sure it's the right place to ask ;-)

[There was no where that I could see immediately that explained what it actually was or did - could be me not looking hard enough]

I've no idea but I found this curious snippet:
When the first top hat was worn by the haberdasher John Hetherington in 1797, it caused a near riot. According to a newspaper account, “passersby panicked at the sight. Several women fainted, children screamed, dogs yelped, and an errand boy’s arm was broken when he was trampled by the mob.” So Hetherington was taken to court for wearing “a tall structure having a shining luster calculated to frighten timid people.” </I>

Minardi - cheap joke sorry! - Top hat is an interactive polling device used in schools and universities.

I'm interested in the why behind this question.

Also, though I am not familiar with top hats (despite being a posh, horse-riding twat obviously), that one can place both a brimless hat and a hatless brim upon one's head reasonably successfully. Whether it would stay there while you went around your daily business... which seems to me to be an important part of "wearing" something... I do not know. I suspect that's the crux of the question.

But why propose the question? What situation led to this?
