I don't own a coat.

I'd like one the same as Bodie from the Professionals.

A wheat-coloured corduroy one with oversized pockets that matches my olive woolly polar-neck.

Argh! Man at C&A!

C&A circa 1978 now that was style.

Clemente and Auguste.

Yes, I vaguely remember the name when I was living in London... about 21 years ago.

Nice new expression, eh Nickis? Feel free to use.

I had a duffel coat when I was little. I think it was a blue one.

Wasn't it a little scratchy on the neck?

(or you wore clothes under it?)

This is a bit awkward but I'm starting to think I just remember the duffel coat from the Paddington Bear cartoon. Could be I've never owned a coat.

I think mine was green with buttons made of fossilised witchetty grubs.
