[Brighton] Dryrobe 'culture war': which side are you on?

Posted the YouTube video of that in this thread last month.

Soz, skipped a few pages!

Yeah sometimes. Shoals of fish, there was jellyfish last summer, bloody ducks and swans to keep away from.

They are really useful in winter, hypothermia is a big danger and they help prevent that because you can get changed under them and keep warm/out of the wind whilst you do so.

Good point, well made. And Reynard's is also an issue for me. I've been getting in and out of wetsuits in the winter for half a century, so do it as quickly as possible, un/dressing as I go. A changing robe turns that whole procedure on its head and feels unnatural and I get cold. When sea swimming in the summer, I cycle to the beach. Coming home, its all up hill so I stay warm.

Well, well we’ll. Every day you learn something new. Personally, I couldn’t give a toss what people wear.

Millions probably, spanned the whole 1970's didn't they?

And if you were unlucky you’d get the zip caught in the fur and be stuck with the hood up

For the first time ever this morning, I've joined the " it's pissing down I'll wear the dry robe" whilst walking the dog club.

It worked like a charm. 5 stars.

It's not the DryRobe I mind. It's the mandatory yappy little dog called "Frankie" trying to attack my son on his bike that gets me.

She's actually called DOTTY and only chases kids if they don't have their helmets on. Safety first innit.

Ha and there was me pointing out I’d posted a video earlier to @BrightonCottager
