Not a bogan or an ocker but I do appreciate guidance on what is expected at formal occasions. Whenever they announce the National Anthem at sporting events I always wonder if it would hurt to add "Gentlemen please remove your hats". There's a whole generation that don't know this is the correct thing to do (unless in uniform).
