    May I ask what colour it is?

    Guernsey jumper

    Like you I have an open-air ruggedness at the age of 50. I look forward to your photos and I shall send some of my own.

    Guernsey jumper

    ... And there was I thinking it was you! I like the fact that North Sea Clothing use a ruggedly handsome male model with a lived-in face who looks as if he's as happy in the open air as in the city. It makes better advertising than the youthful androgynous types you get in some of these...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    That's useful to know as I have just received their discount. I agree that the Pick submariners were thicker and woollier than OKW's. My Silverman's sub matches the Pick quality but it's about 15 years old.

    Yes, I have this as well. It's great to see that the WP is 70 years old and it's worth celebrating.

    Yes - I am hoping for that. Enjoying Navy WP again this morning.

    It wasn't so much that we didn't get on but I just stretched the boundaries a bit in his classes and was cheeky! Running round the fields as a warm up was doubtless healthy but it could be gruelling.

    Thanks for reminding me just how good that sketch is. I remember being cheered on by my House master and sometimes my form master from the touch line and it really added to the pressure.

    Most of the Monty Python team went to this type of school and this inspired a lot of their humour. It's funny because it's a (slightly!) exaggerated version of the truth.

    Congratulations. It was a sign of great things to come.

    School and college sports

    One other somewhat esoteric aspect of all this was the 'friendly' matches that took place every do often between masters and boys. The atmosphere of these games was burlesque and anarchic. I remember tackling my form master and bringing him crashing to the ground. He was ex-Navy and supposedly...

    Sounds hellish indeed! Sprinting was a frequent part of our training and not my favourite activity. As for throwing up, I remember coming close to that several times in Rugger practices in the cold at the start of term - after several weeks of sitting around being lazy during the holidays! I...

    I wonder when OKW will have their next seasonal offer. I've got my eye on the Patchless Black WP.

    I remember several times having to write out lines for my Geography master for misbehaving in his class - and once having to run around the Rugger fields for same reason. Something about that subject and that master brought out the worst in me.

    Interesting colour. Great minds think alike as I'm in dark grey mix with epps and pen pocket.

    Guernsey jumper

    It's Ticklischap with no 'e'. I found when I emailed them that the Grey Mark was not available in my size, but that they do have a dark grey submarine sweater instead. I'm thinking about it. However I shall definitely buy a brown Guernsey from Le Tric.

    The Patchless Navy version today. It really is WP season again at last!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yes, I do have one of those in a kind of Derby Tweed (but slightly darker) mad by Barbour. And I have a dark brown WP with thick suede patches made by OKW. Re. the Dutch WP, I think I gave it to charity when I grew out of it. Not as good as the UK version but I liked it.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Re. the 'eskimo': similar to a Dutch WP I had about 20 years ago. Thinner ribbing than UK version. Darker green as well - a bit like the Moss Green I'm wearing today!

    I i'm on the train at the moment so I shall look at the link later. I think I'd like to get a Howard Green. Today I'm wearing a Moss Green WP from OKW.
