I'm scared! And not because of how they look.

My mum used to knit me one each year when I was in primary school, navy blue made of course knitted wool.

She'd kill herself trying to pull it over my head - it was like trying to put a condom on a melon. By the end my ears were inside out and the pressure forced my eyeballs to pop out on stalks. Then I had to walk to school - and take it off.

You're a Gentlemen, a scholar and an acrobat.

My Husband has now gone all unnecessary, thanks to that vid.

I wonder if Urban Manc is annoyed that I hijacked his thread (Soz, Urban Manc.)

What's wrong with a good old Balaclava?

Nothing at all. I've ridden home off half-nights (finishing at 2-00am) wearing three: one facing forwards and the other two at angles so only a a narrow central strip of my mush was exposed. I've never had one of those freedom-fighter jobs with just the eye and mouth holes.
