That's half of Glasgow won't be buying any gear for a while then.

I find 'Fern Green' to be the best for underwear.

I am a Guinness drinker though.

So, is this delightful garment from Norrona to be in fashion this year, next year, the year after......

...... or possibly never?!!

The thing is they feel obliged to change even that Its been a 'tasteful' black and white check before now.

But then skiing clothing really is insanely fashion driven. Priced to match too.

Green. Ugh. My school, Dorchester Grammar School for Girls, was popularly known as The Green School. Guess why? I do not wear green. Thus I will be buying no outdoors gear until whatever colour is next on the list comes into fashion.

Totally agree.

Navy blue girls hockey pants, that's a different matter.

Nothing comfier, imo.

> I'm told that purple is very 'in' for the lasses at the moment. It's back to the 80s....

I've noticed that too.  And the 80's throwback...

As for the 'Green is the colour'...

Percy: (rushes out the living room, dirtied) My Lord! Success!

Edmund: What?

Percy: (drags Edmund into the living room) After literally an hour's ceaseless searching, I have succeeded in creating gold. PURE GOLD!

Edmund: Are you sure?

Percy: Yes, My Lord! Behold! (uncovers the top; their faces get bathed in green light)

Edmund: Percy, it's green.

Percy: That's right, My Lord.

Edmund: Yes, Percy, I don't want to be pedantic or anything, but the colour of gold is gold; that's why it's called gold. What you have discovered, if it has a name, is some green.

Percy: (stupefied; picks up the green) Oh, Edmund, can it be true? that I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest green?

Edmund: Indeed you do, Percy, except, of course, it's not a nugget, it is more of a splat.

Percy: Well, yes, a splat today, but tomorrow, who knows? or dares to dream!

Edmund: So we three alone in all the world can create the finest green at will.

Percy: Thus so! (whispers) I'm not sure about counting in Baldrick, actually.

Edmund: Of course, you know what your great discovery means, don't you, Percy?

Percy: (smiles) Perhaps, My Lord.

Edmund: That you, Percy -- Lord Percy -- are an utter berk!
