A small correction since I go shooting most weekends: Range Rovers are far more common than Discos and Shoguns, and nobody tends to wear Tattersall. Although you do get some tweed and wellies, depending on the weather.

So I'd go with the football mum (100% bollocks to americanisms).

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F

1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!

It's days you are part of the majority of the population it would appear.

My neighbour and I were laughing when I suggested I said to the council I needed a fence round my property to keep a horse in as part of a "traditional lifestyle" - transit van and caravan in my drive......
Everybody does it to some extent.

I think in all fairness this is not a commissioned exercise or report, just a bit of fun to see where it goes and have a smile or two. It is the same as what clothes we choose to put on.
