So how did you get your username..

[FLATCAP40]

Born and grew up on a farm where it was the 'law' to wear a flat cap.
Worn one since i was about 10 years old.
The nickname actually came about 20 years ago when i left the farming industry and ventured into town to work for a haulage and storage company where one day it was decided we all had to have a nickname. My boss at the time suggested i be nicknamed 'Container Unit Nominated Transporter'...we still laugh about that
Now know by most of the people in the industry in our town and they all know me as flat cap.....most don't even know my real name!
