    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yes, I recall the photo of the creamy white WP roll neck you posted here last year. Very nice. I have at least as many of these jumpers (sweaters to our trans-Atlantic chums) as you - like you I've lost count, but I have a wide variety of colours. I have just - following OKW's recent 20% off...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Outdoor Knitwear have 20% off to celebrate Leicester City's football win. As usual I am undecided, but considering the following, all with epps and pen pocket; RAF Blue Sand Moss Green Maroon

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    This season I have had quite a strong bias towards the Navy WP, followed by Peat Brown, Dark Grey Mix and Black. How about you?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Not sure what the 'bone' colour is. I also have a Heather Mix WP, although I don't wear it as often as the other colours.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Sorry - didn't see this post. I shall look out for this variant on the WP theme on ebay, etc.

    You should cut back on the pies. ... Did the Aus. WP have camo patches?

    Guernsey jumper

    This year I have worn my Navy Guernsey a few times but for some reason I have tended to favour the 'New Natural' or 'Desert Rat' version.

    School and college sports

    My experience of school was that sport was, in many ways, valued more than academic achievement. This was why I continued with it into my A Level year. My form master at that time, for example, told me that it didn't matter what I did at university as long as I 'got through the work'. He was...

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    It is supposed to be extremely good for the health.

    Cricket sweaters

    I enjoyed the recent cold snap, not least because it was a chance to wear some nice traditional wool sweaters. I agree that the cricketers would have been glad of theirs.

    If you could be born in any year

    Although I agree with the comments above, I think I would like to have served in the Army in the late 70s or early 80s, in other words just before my time (I was born in the mid-60s). I know several older chaos who did so and they benefited a lot from the experience. Although there were a few...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Were you able to wear a WP yourself on that holiday? Here it's been too warm last week but it's sweater weather again and I'm enjoying wearing my black crew neck!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I hope they still issue them. They certainly do here in the UK. Good that yo've got a few. You'll be getting them out when we're putting ours away.

    It looks as if a recipe book is required

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    A shame they don't issue them now. Still issued here in the UK. Were you in the ADF?

    Thanks very much for that tip.

    Cricket sweaters

    I am looking to buy a new pure wool Cricket sweater (or jumper on this side of the Atlantic). Or a second hand one would do. I enjoyed wearing them at school and university, although I was never much into the game itself, but the few I have knocking around are now too small for me and/or too...

    School and college sports

    The recent spring showers are a reminder of the wet afternoons spent on the sports field as rain was rarely allowed to stop play unless very heavy or accompanied by lightning and thunder.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    ... And I have been wearing my Army Woolly Pully over the weekend and Navy today! Yes, I'm pleased to say it's still cool enough especially mornings and evenings.
