I'm Tim, and I'm Neil.
Why are you wearing a policeman's hat, Tim?
To get me the mood for our topic today?
Uniforms.
Well, the hat certainly suits you.
And if something suits you, it looks good on you.
Well, thanks, Neil.
And funnily enough, I have a question for you on the subject of police hats.
In the 19th century, police officers' top hats could be used,
A.
To stand on.
B.
As a weapon.
Or C.
To protect their heads from the sun.
Hmm, well, they're kind of pointy, so I'm going to say as a weapon.
Okay.
