The Bigouden of Brittany
In the Pays bigouden region of France, women traditionally wear a distinctive phallic-shaped headdress named a coiffe.
Apparently they keep it on all the time, even while driving. Provided they have a sunroof in their car.
But from what I understand, only a handful of women still maintain the tradition. Most of them just put the thing on for the benefit of tourists. Read more about the Bigoudène here and here.

Does the woman's foot size determine the size of the headdress or is do they use the hands?

According to my EFL teacher wife "is do they use" is not a part of idiomatic speech so it must be a typo on my part. :red:

Alex, if that is what your phallus looks like it may be time to see your doctor. And/or the folks at Guinness.

A lace phallic cover! I'm thinking the better you are at head the taller the headress you get. :cheese:

I'm thinking simple thoughts. The speed limit must be 10 MPH?

I think that's about the top end for a CV2.
