Outside in all weathers, the London Walks guides know a thing or two about battling the cold weather.In this short series we're sharing our winter weather tips with our lovely London Walkers, a hardy bunch who join us rain or sleet in the winter months.
David adds…
SO DARLING, DARLING STAND BY ME, OH STAND BY ME
Surely the last word* on Guides’ Tips for Winter Walkers.
Of the female persuasion at any rate.
Let’s count the ways – sashay them words down the catwalk.
1. It’s rubberless 2. Comes with a printed, legally binding guarantee to keep out all the rain. That’s “all the rain” – not “the rain”, not “some of the rain”, not “most of the rain.” 3. It’s a woollen whipcord 4. As opposed to a cold, clammy, linen-like fabric 5. It’s made from Omne Tempus Cloth (need I say more?) 6. It’s multipurpose – a boon to the War-worker and the “open-air” woman 7. It’s “Ready-for-wear” or “To measure” 8. It’s famous. 9. It’ll stand-by you. 10.It’s triple-proofed. 11.It comes from “A Great House” 12.It’s got Madge inside it. 13.It’s London. We ain’t talking Oshkosh here. 14.The deal closer – it’s made by men-Tailors 15.It’s got no end of tongue-in-cheek possibilities.
*Make that words plural. And illustrated words at that.
