Hello People who are also using this discussion thing

flatcap

Hi, I am an over 60 person who has spent a life feeling at least a bit odd. I have in the past 20 plus years slowly began to understand that others have similar traits. Some diagnostics in my 40s revealed some names for such 'odd' attributions.

I have, for the first time now signed into an on-line community sort of thing used by persons who have similar attributes and I hope that is a good thing. I don't really know what this on-line thing is about or how such things are used... But here, as they say, we go.

    Yes, good name, it reminds me of my father and grandfather (and great grandfather) from Bradford, West Yorkshire who habitually wore flat caps. Synchronistically, I was talking to a friend around here in Lancashire who had her new pet whippet with her the other day and I thought whippets were more a Yorkshire thing generally. My grandmother in Bradford often used to say 'whip it quick!' (e.g. take the last biscuit from the barrel before anyone else got it) which I always guessed was whippet related (whippets are definitely quick, there has been such thing as whippet racing).
