a few times lately they have left me alcohol without getting a signature. i guess it depends on the delivery driver.

do you have a link? i could do with some decent pillows.

we dont get snow down south.

my girlfriends stockman coat by Drizabone feels like it will outlast either of us. heavy compared to modern coats though.

a Spyderco Urban has been my daily for years. its such a well designed knife for the UK. light enough to be unnoticeable in the pocket, small enough not to bother people, has a deep carry clip, and is easy use one handed. i really prefer the look of traditional pocket knives though and have...

ive been wearing Craghoppers 3in1 jackets for years. i pick them up when they are on sale, and they are reasonably priced. i find them an excellent all year coat. versatile, warm, and waterproof.

Lidl do work trousers and dungarees for around a tenner, that hold up well and have plenty of pockets.

my partner was until last year.

Gortex i find is good if you dont mind buying new coats regularly and just want them for light duties. unfortunately the man made materials arent nowhere near as hard wearing as the natural stuff.

ive just ordered a wax jacket with detachable hood for dog walking. got it from new forest clothing. cost £40 in the sale and has plenty of good reviews. https://www.newforestclothing.co.uk/collections/january-sale/products/padded-wax-jacket?_pos=15&_fid=812e1e4bb&_ss=c&variant=40115855950015
