Ok, but are there any rules in place that say they have to dress like that?
// Yes there is even a post about it as I am unable to get a driving licence as it is still under investigation - because I was not born in Britain //
ah yes but if you WERE born inBritain you may STILL not be entitled like those poor polish kids - who were told - well you were british but now you are not
( altho making someone stateless is against international treaty law that UK still subecribes to)

“I don't believe there are any rules on how a British mayor should dress…”
No, I don’t imagine there are. Such matters usually depend on convention and the people involved exercising a little common sense and decorum. Two qualities obviously with which Mr Magid (who I’m led to believe has banned both Donald Trump and Her Majesty the Queen from his fiefdom) is not over-endowed.
As for baseball caps being worn back to front, I find it odd that the habit stems from a particular position in baseball. I should have thought that if the garment was clearly unsuitable for the task then something else might be employed. I shouldn’t imagine Mr Magid has seen service as a “catcher” in a baseball game (though you never know). I doubt much baseball goes on in Sheffield Town Hall anyway. Manufacturers go to the trouble of putting a badge on the front and the adjustment mechanism on the back. As well as that it must be plain that the peak is designed to keep the sun out of the wearer’s eyes, not off the back of his/her head so it shouldn’t be too hard to discover what way round it should be worn. Perhaps instead of a badge an “F” or the word “Front” should be embellished above the peak. Mind you, this would mean wearers having to have a matching clue tattooed on their forehead and they would also need a mirror to put the cap on. Perhaps not such a good idea.

OK fair point
we arent wondering if a mayor of sheffield should be able to run the city ( altho I think we should) and should be judged on outcome data such as this
we are making a scene about whether dressed as marilyn monroe he is violating Britishness as we know it ( nay flouting it - cocking snooks at the aged population who cant stand change - burning a thousand years of good British beahviour)
and if he swanned around like Vera Lynn - a paragon of er Britishness, virtue and calm in adversity - it would be OK
so THAT's what Ab is all about !

Mayors and councilors don't run cities, Peter. All they do is get in the way of people who really do, like the managers and staff of the businesses that operate there, the staff who run the publicly funded services, the boys and girls who drive buses and so on. All Mayors and Councilors (and for that matter most of the staff occupying the Town Halls) do is think up ways of hindering people going about their business.

/// You are disgusted that the likes of him has been made the
mayor! ///
I couldn't care less who is made 'Lord' Mayor (let's get it right) of Sheffield, but I do expect those who take on such an office, to conform with the dignity and dress sense, that has become both traditional and acceptable over many years in our long history.
