Depends when the American fad started over here... my dad got his in 1955 and I got mine in 1983!

As far as the 'who wears a wedding ring' goes
Royalty don;t seem to
My Dad and Granddad never did - my Mum's Dad - dunno but I know he did have a ring - probably a signet ring
I did read somewhere that it is more of a lower class thing - and then families that have a tradition of men wearing rings but are now middle class (or higher) still wear them
I didn;t really want one - but my wife wanted to get me one - so I wear it
lost it a while ago - had to admit it and discovered it some weeks later in the drawer iwth the holiday stuff that hasn;t been used since before the pandemic
weird
still

I lost mine at work. I used to fiddle with it and somehow I put it down and never found it again. Bought another with the insurance money.
Im unsure why people think Murray was up to shenanigans. It sounds reasonable to me and he is known for putting the ring on his shoe.

I agree - sounds like it is probably OK
but it is funnier to comment on 'other'
I think the vast majority of people think his story is absolutely true
and his wife trusts him - but may exploit the situation in a humorous manner - as many couple do
In my opinion - if people really thought this was seriously dodgy
a) he wouldn;t have made this story public
b) people wouldn;t be making these comments in the way they are

I was being slightly tongue in cheek but neither my father nor my grandfathers wore them, nor any of my grandad's generation. All bar my dad were manual or industrial workers. I do recall my Uncle wearing one but perhaps because he was (nominally at least) catholic, and likewise my father in law. A fair few (blokes) of my generation wear them

There are a lot of file pics knocking around with the ring on the lace, so I'm not sure why all the Poirots on here reckon there was a rabbit away.

I reckon the apartment "security" took the for safe keeping and miraculously found them when he asked to see any security camera footage to help with retrieving it

Yup - he has them back - but no mention of why they were missing
so all is well in the Murrey household - and always was really - things happen!

The guardian web admin seems to have strong feelings about the story:

Murray is a self-confessed idiot, from the story:
'In his original caption on Instagram, Murray acknowledged that he was “an idiot”.'
It would have been very amateurish for anyone at The Guardian to editorialise in the web address.
