They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

If this is true..I've always thought a non-Sikh could ride a motorbike without a crash helmet, then if stopped by the police say "But I'm a Sikh!"
"Oh yeah, where's your turban?"
*feel top of head* "Oh fuck"
But on a serious point, how do the police know who's a Sikh - is there a register of them or something? Or can anyone just ride a motorbike without a helmet as long as they wear a Sikh-ish looking turban?
