    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    ... Or to take this to a new low (and why not?): frozen brown FARTICLES. As in the new science of Farticle Physics.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    You can look forward to them in the Fall. Still very much Woolly Pully weather here.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Today I’m enjoying wearing my Army Woolly Pully over a Rugger shirt. The combination is keeping me warm as toast.

    This is the sort of weather when farts freeze into icicles!

    I really like the cold, crisp and clear weather, and I like the snow as well, but agree with you about the inconvenience caused by snow storms. We are ridiculously ill-equipped for this in Britain and it makes us look ridiculous compared to mainland Europe and North America.

    Not horrid at all - I'm loving it. Have also been wearing my sub sweater and Navy Guernsey, but am in my Navy roll neck Woolly Pully today!

    Guernsey jumper

    Ditto. I’m always on about my collection of woollies on these threads (no pun intended), especially Guernseys and even more especially military Woolly Pullies.

    Guernsey jumper

    Ah, Yorkshire ... by far my favourite county. I love going there and have a lot of friends in West and North Yorkshire especially. I've quite often worn a Steel Grey Guernsey over the past few days and had a lot of admiring comments about it. It's part of my large collection of Guernseys and...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    At the time of The Good Life my best friend at school had a mother who was a dead ringer for Margo (Penelope Keith's character). His name was Geoff but she always called him 'Geoff-Reee!'. She was also Anglo-Catholic and addicted to Valium.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Agreed: you don't want to seem uxorious. I wish I could remember the name of that sitcom or the names of that nightmare couple. I just remember that they both had wet little voices but she ordered him around. The Fair Isles were not genuine but what we call 'High Street fashion' - the...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    There was some 1980s sitcom here in the UK about a married couple (man and woman) who wore matching sweaters: in this case Fair Isles, I think. The man was (word of the day) uxorious and the wife 'wore the trousers' as we say over here although she was a bit wet behind the ears and into...

    Very interesting perspective on Russian sweaters. Thank you for that. I am however glad that we are both aficionados of British military knitwear.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I looked through a lot of Royal Navy photographs in January from times of the II world war in order to watch sweaters. It is a pity that they aren't these are colour photographs. Of sweaters roll neck it is much. Omitting private sweaters of sailors – are also interesting – it is possible to .[/...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I wore a Naval Duffel Coat through my university years and young manhood (often over a Woolly Pully, Guernsey or sub sweater). Now I generally wear a Barbour Beaufort or a quilted Barbour jacket - but the sweaters remain the same. Your talk of Duffel Coats makes me think of getting one again!

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I remember that there was a small and very heroic Polish Navy - just as there was a Free Polish Army. Like you I have taken an interest in the Armed Forces since the 1970s. We have much in common.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Me too. My interest in these sweaters is linked to my interest in the Armed Services and my interest in history. I have jersey man ’ heavy in the navy colour from 1982. There was a martial law in Poland then, and Great Britain fought over the Falkland Islands. At us the boss of the Eastern...

    That's right: I have been wearing Woolly Pullies made to that MOD specification since the 1970s.
