    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    That is very nice and I would bid for it were it not for having the similar Silverman's sweater that has lasted me so many years. I also have Outdoor Knitwear's rollback version of the Woolly Pully (Jersey, Heavy Men's or sometimes Jersey Heavy Wool) although most of my Woolly Pullies are crew...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Yes, I shall PM you about that Khaki sweater - to add to my extensive collection of military knitwear. Like you, I prefer the 100% wool 'Woolly Pully' military sweater: they are very addictive and I have been wearing a different colour each day over the past week.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Thank you very much for that. Of the sweaters in your links, I especially liked - in the www.sanmarko.pl - the second sweater, Khaki 90% wool. It's quite similar to one of my Woolly Pullies ('Jersey Man's Heavy') which is dark brown. Also, I have a brown military-style Wool sweater with suede...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Welcome and thanks for such a detailed post. My Silverman's sweater is now old but gets some wear each year and I always enjoy wearing it. I more often wear ribbed military 'commando sweaters' and in fact started a thread about these. I'd like to see a picture of the Polish military sweater...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    They’re embarrassingly common like most of the people on the BBC these days! Probably vastly overpaid when people who save lives get a pittance.

    G-d they're an awful looking bunch. Dumb Britannia.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I see what you mean about Disabled toilets: interesting point. I am not quite sure where the pressure is coming from for gender neutral toilets to become 'the norm' in public spaces, i.e. who actually wants that to happen? Is it only a small group of 'trans' activists? I've never met a gay man...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There is a case for an age-based system as well: for example, some schools are single-sex until the last two years and then they become mixed. That seems to work quite well and I think I would have found that a very positive experience - preparing me (and other students) for university and the...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm really not sure about this. I prefer to go into the gents, use either a cubicle or the urinal, wash my hands, comb what's left of my hair and then get on with the rest of my life. It's never been something I've had to think about or worry about before and I would rather keep it that way...

    Sounds a good argument for single-sex schools with girls taught by women and boys taught by men. There is a far happier atmosphere and a better learning environment.

    And uncritical worship of technology so that it is treated as an end rather than a means.

    I give thanks to a deity I don't really believe in that I was educated in an all-male environment and the schoolmasters were good role models.

    Look forward to your post. The Silvermans/Kempton subs last and last and last.

    I don't think they're OKW/kemptpn - they have their own sub sweater; I've a feeling you own one of those yourself! I still wear my (very similar) Silverman's sub sweater, which I have had for many, many years.

    To introduce some balance into this discussion, in the UK (I don't know whether it's the same in the US or reflects a cultural difference) most physical abuse of children is committed by women, as are most child murders. Most elder abuse is also committed by females. Then, in Ireland, there...

    Yes, I remember those stickers - I think they were still around in the 70s/early 80s. Nice memory.

    I also admire Gore Vidal. Speaking as a man who is adjectivally homosexual, I have found great tolerance and full acceptance working in an all-male environment. Most of my closest friends are straight men and I have many straight women friends as well. I value both equally of course - and part...

    ... And conversely, many of us chaps feel the same as the women you have described - we also want to go to a men's bathroom with other men only and we think that this type of 'segregation' is civilised, not bigoted, one of the things that distinguishes humans from livestock. In the days of...
