I still do this. Are you telling us that most men don't?
I also still do this Jock, however last time I was in the UK it did not appear to be the norm now.
Here in the States everyone drives and at least where I live there are few pavements (sidewalks).
Where there are, I dont see much evidence here either.
I forgot to mention men always removed their hats on going indoors or sitting down to eat, and for the National Anthem or a funeral passing by.
This custom is very rare in the States especially entering someones home, one wonders if they wear them to bed, as they never seem to take them off.
