Would I expect to see more people wearing it here in New Zealand (the home of the tattooed Maori) than in the small Welsh village of Little Scumble on the Bog?
Digression begins.
By the way, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, where we had yesterday morning (4:35am) a 7.1 earthquake. Since then there's been dozens of aftershocks, the largest five hours ago of 5.1. (and one as I'm typing this, of about 4.)
No deaths, little injury, but a reported one billion dollars (US$) damage.
I have several bookshelves above my bed, holding about 200 paperbacks, 100 hardbacks and about 50 large reference books. The whole lot came down on me. Fortunately the big ones missed (some hitting the wall on the opposite side of the room) and all that struck me was a little light reading.
Digression ends.
