I can't wait to be banned from a shopping centre. I happen to be a member of a society of people interested in academic robes. When that particular news story broke, there was idle (and nonserious) talk of organising a visit to the shopping centre in question (Bluewater?), just to see what the management's reaction would be to twenty mostly harmless eccentrics turning up en masse and marching through the place wearing a variety of gowns and hoods.
Indeed. And those of us wearing bonnets can make best use of our camouflage by hiding in the upholstery and cushion section of the nearest department store.
Is it the new spooky kind with the pastic eye bits on it as well? They're really creepy... Bret has one that's the full face version with a hockey mask design on it to look like Jason Vorhees from Friday 13th movies.. all very scary on a Christmas Day!
Yesterday the thing that fell off Rebecca's clothes pile first was a velour sweat suit (inherited, not bought specifically, I may add). The top is a hoodie and she then insisted on wearing her baseball cap too. With the addition of her new light-up trainers she looked like a true Essex girl and Lakeside's worst nightmare....
