Usual sufferers include those that habitually wear a hat with the peak reversed, woolly hat wearers like snowboarders and re-enacters wearing a steel skullcap during the filming of a crunchynut cornflake ad in blazing sun whilst some twonk gets their ONE LINE wrong for 3 hours! Sorry did I type that last bit out loud?
