What is it with the caps?
What caps?
You know the ones. They are worn by a particular breed of fictional BBC gangster.
Oh. You mean baker boy caps. A la the Peaky Blinders.
Yes, exactly.
People are actually wearing those?
It appears so — they have made it onto several members of the Cheltenham set’s heads, based on recent evidence.
Troubling. I thought they would be safely locked up in the show’s wardrobe department.
Not securely enough, it seems.
Presumably the ones you’re referring to don’t have blades in?

No. Just the skulls of men who should have known better.
Go on then — name and shame!
The key offenders look to be Mike Tindall and Peter Phillips.
Have a word, Zara.
She was with them! The trio were spotted at the races this week and the lads were in matching black baker caps. Tindall wore his with a tweedy blazer and Phillips a tartan coat.
Didn’t we agree that this wasn’t a vibe when David Beckham and his brood tried to make it happen, circa 2018?
We did, but the new (and final) season of Blinders is on the telly — which is enough to make every Tom, Dick and Harry forget that they aren’t Cillian Murphy and thus probably can’t pull them off.
Look at the cheekbones, men. The vivid blue of Murphy’s eyes. Most of you lack both.
They won’t listen. They’ll do what they want. They always do.
In which case it’s their own fault if they look very, very silly.
