Most men in Britain do not wear wedding rings. My grandfathers did not, my father did not,I do not. Tradition.
It is also about class. A few effete upper middle class men wear them. It fits in with their general pattern of behavior. Working class men do not wear a wedding ring. It is unmasculine and the darned thing gets in the way if you are tinkering or getting your hands mucky. If you take it off and put it down it would get lost. I don’t wear a wrist watch for this reason. It stays in my pocket.
Good Prince Billy stands for the men of England
