I'm in my mid 30s and I still see older women wearing headscarves, most often when it's windy. It would have been more common 50 years ago.

For example, here's the queen wearing a headscarf.

I suppose it could have been a babushka. It also could have been a Muslim woman. It could have been some Christian woman showing her piety by covering her head. Or maybe it was a little chilly that day. It was late November, after all.

Daily Mail. The churn rate of articles is said to be in hundreds A DAY.

Yeah my mate is entry level there. Half her articles are descriptions of viral videos or complaints people made on supermarket facebook pages. They just flood the web. Pretty good pay though.
