    That Sikh fella in the Scots Guards

    A Sikh soldier in the UK has made history by becoming the first guardsman to wear a turban rather than a bearskin at the Buckingham Palace here, breaking over a century-old tradition. Jatinderpal Singh Bhullar, 25, has been allowed to break hundreds of years of tradition to observe his religion. The Scots Guards, one of five foot regiments who guard the Queen, have worn bearskins on parade since 1832.
    Should we now expect the first burqa clad Wren?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Re Sikh, don't care really what people wear.

        I don't really care, its just the way he looks, those eyes...he looks like he's holding a real stinker of a fart

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Would you rather he let it out?

                  Then they would be a blackbird, not a wren.

                    That's odd - Like most people presumably, I thought they wore peaked caps until the Crimean War in the 1850s, and only took to bearskins after the Battle of Balaclava.

                    Is there a military uniform geek in the house?
