Back in the day, oh yeah. Going winter fell walking in doc martens, ex army lightweight trousers, acrylic jumpers and a set of yellow oil skins that my dad got me from work.
Of course, I was safe in the knowledge that my orange plastic bivvy bag would enable me to survive benightment in the coldest weather too. Great days.

Jumpers were made of wool thick enough to stop a bullet, roll-necked, and mainly made by your gran, canvas was tent material of choice, and breakfast made your heart cry
Don,t forget that Amazon bar filled with lovely cherry and coconut , Cresta -" its frothy
amazing man" slogan ,Fry,s five boys bar and Fry,s fruit bar with a different fruit in each section , and those cracking little British Bantams the telegram boys use to ride round on ,looking forward to Sat. morning and collecting my Victor comic from the newsagents ,out fishing ,hunting rabbits with my catty or making up some new dutch arrows out of bamboo (if i could find any left in our garden ) or practicing my archery skills .
