    The Sikh 5 “K”s:-



    I remember back in the 1960’s/70’s for years there was a lot of bother in the UK after crash-helmets were made mandatory on motor-bikes/scooters etc and Sikhs didn’t want to wear them for religious reasons. Likewise, Sikhs working on the buses wanted to wear their turban/puggri instead of a bus-company cap. They won out on the buses – I can’t remember the outcome of the motor-bikes though.

    So no imagery like below in Colorado then ? A pity:-

    I wore my Celtic cross t shirt to my kids jazz vocal concert last night, along with my Nightstalker kilt. After reading that, I thought "Let them try to stop me." It went over really well, actually. I was informed by 2 teachers that I have become a school staple. They know that if there is some function or other, I will be there. They watch for me, and it turned out that several students do as well!

    They won out on that also, the only group to gain exemption from compulsory helmet wearing.
