A Tilley hat makes one look suspicious? Yet a baseball cap advertising a line of luxury sedans is okay....is this capitalism at work again?
I think the key thing is that Rolls Royce also make aircraft engines (in fact the car business is no longer owned by the Rolls Royce company - no, I have no clue what that's about) and perhaps someone wearing a hat with their logo is a less likely candidate for doing naughty things to aeroplanes? Mind you, it could be a complete coincidence or to do with the time of day or what the particular security person had for lunch for all I know :)
Did you know that there are 200 million migrant workers living in shantytowns on the outskirts of Shanghai?
I didn't, but I knew things in China must be pretty lousy still. Have you read Jung Chang's Wild Swans? The things that happened under Mao were truly sickening too.
I guess, considering what Romans wore to war, that there must have been expert metalworkers about so who's to say that there weren't metal tyres about on wagons?
seems entirely possible - they were very good at inventing things (and nicking other people's inventions for that matter :)).
