I know they’re stupid, you know they’re stupid, my wife on the other hand thinks they’re useful.

And for her they might well be- she struggles with a sore ear canal when wind rushes past her ears. Yes, she is a wimp. Her mother gets it too. Cotton wool in her ears helps but obviously hinders her hearing.

I know of a bloke who wears ’em all the time

I think there is nothing more to add. Superb photo of Lord Martin!

Is that your wife in the photo?

Or, for the price of a packet of kirby grips:

I’M A BIT DEAF, and the wind doesn’t help, but i’ll work on my ginger burnies a bit more yet.
