GOOD!

Hi Lorraine,
           I was interested to read of the girl and her Sweddish Army Parkas. I have bought my family girl fourteen and boy twelve and my husband myself these.I bought some a few years ago and bought somemore recently from an army surplus store on the main road east from Worcester.This is fasticinating place full of alsorts of army gear it even has old tanks parked outside.Google U.K. Sweddish Parka and you will find it.

           Like some of your other contributors we worried about our daughters' safety when she was out on her own. Once she went to high school at eleven she wanted to go out with her friends, to town or just hang out in the local park and groyty skateboard park.

           We insisted she wear her Sweddish parka done up with the hood up and tied tight al the time when she was out.We thought she could not get into much trouble wearing it. Smoking drinking and kissing bad lads is difficult  through the parka hood!She was very good and did as she was told.So much so she lives in her parka and rarely seems to take it off. Her friends have also acquired similar coats and go around with their hoods up all the time.

     The boy wears his all the time too. His parka hood drawstings have been pulled as tight as possible and tied in a granny knott to the zip fastener this he has sealed in a clear hard setting plastic.Only a tinny opening is left in the hood for his eyes. He has to put the parka on by sliding it over his body as the zip is stuck.Several of his friends have also done this.They can not remove their hoods if asked to do so so are banned from some local shops. GOOD!
