And a leather apron. The special day is a national holiday somewhere.

 

Having looked this up it’s quite interesting.

 

Beard, axe and leather apron - sounds like a Snow White fetish club!

Special day in July - Independance Day? Canada Day? 12th July in NI?

 

14th July is the day (I think).

 

You're well on track Stan.

 

Sounds more like the mother in law preparing xmas dinner...

 

Is it the lesbian welders society of north Queensland

 

So, to summarize. Not lesbians (definitely not !), not mothers in law, not sailors in submarines. Stan was right about the date (he knows the answer anyway). They are subject to orders (not normally polite requests) and it has to do with a national holiday. Compared to others around them they walk quite slowly. It's not unknown for them to sing while walking.

 

Vatican guards?

 

Sorry Steels, nothing to do with the Vatican.

 

Beefeaters

 

Not Beefeaters. But there is a military background to this.

 

Bastille Day in France is 14 the July...know nothing about leather aprons and beards though...

Up to now the date is known, as is the country. Most of them do not, however, have this nationality.

Over to you Beth. When the French Foreign Legion march on Bastille Day they are headed by their Pionier Regiment - which is the only 'tradition' regiment in the whole French military. Their dress uniform is full beard, leather apron with a polished axe over the shoulder - traditional for the sapper units of the past. If they do not already have a beard then they are ordered to stop shaving in either May or June so that it is 'full' by Bastille Day. Take it away.

 

Can never get the same killer question that you lot can...all my questions are a trite pathetic....anyway here we go
What links Tooting and Henley to Brent East

 

Have you not seen my questions beth
At least you can answer some of. The tougher ones

Due to rising London house prices do they all have the same percentage of private school boys living in them

 

A Johnson has represented them in Parliament.

 

Livingston was MP for Brent
