Complete the look by having a team of fuzzy wuzzys carry you around the show in a sedan chair ! Edited January 2, 2024 by WILF 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My sons pith helmet from his time with the British Embassy in South Africa; No, he didn’t wear it for work, LOL , it was just a souvenir. Now hangs in my man cave .Cheers. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,571 Posted January 3, 2024 Report Share Posted January 3, 2024 I've got a photo of my maternal grandad wearing a pith helmet taken during his time in The Boer war. Also got one of him peering from the bars of a makeshift glasshouse after he ran amuck. I guess drink was involved. I'd quite like to dress up. Show more of my feminine / poofter side. However, where I live, I would have the shit kicked out of me and denounced as f****n poser before I could make it to the pub. I'll stick with the scruffy b*****d look for safety. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,571 Posted January 3, 2024 Report Share Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) I honestly don't know how to post pictures. Dinosaur! I'll get my Mrs to show me.
