Oh no, don't tell me regatta has gone Chav now !!

I'm old enough to remember when Burberry was VERY POSH. Always wanted one, but not now.

BTW met a couple from essex on hols this year. I kid you not, they had Burberry printed towels, and she wore a burberry bikini!!!!!

I've got a long brown waxed mac/coat thing. That hat would go with it, but would I feel a dork wearing it in London?

nailpolish · 02/11/2005 15:45

I bought a fab hat in Copenhagen last year, but dh says he'll divorce me if I wear it in public, plus its not waterproof, only good for extreme cold.

nailpolish · 02/11/2005 15:49

whats wrong with a bobble hat

OP posts:
Easy · 02/11/2005 15:50

bobble hat too absorbant

puff · 02/11/2005 15:51

I've also got this black hood/scarf thing which was really expensive but I've realised I look like Old Mother Hubbard in it .

nailpolish · 02/11/2005 15:51
