In a private email, Beany expresses his chagrin at mis-identifying the character on the Stackridge album cover as “a man” (in spite of all the evidence to the contrary), claiming the “hat fooled him” (forgetting that the hat in the picture is no more a bowler than the wearer is a man), and asks if I’d kindly curate a thread on his behalf to make the whole issue of “men” and “bowler hats” clear to him. Pleased to oblige, Beansie!
