Hoodies: Anoraks v2.0
(its kind of on-topic! honest!)

Last year I had a job interview at a chambers, and part of their selection process was to give every applicant a list of products, and ask them to pick one to give a sales pitch on.

The list was something as follows:
Wales
Flip-Flops
Hoodies
Cheese Sandwiches
Pigeons
Muffins
and so on...

While the rest of the applicants went for the safe option and chose "muffins",
I chose my all-time favourite accesory: HOODIES
(Here follows that sales pitch!)

(1) They're suitable for all weather conditions: light enough for hot days,
yet their hood makes them excellent in the wet.

(2) They are in fact the "chav anorak", you can be chavtastic* while still
being practical

(3) They fit over anything - I have tried and swear that it is entirely possible to fit shirt, tie, and
jacket under one without any external clue when passing through dingy areas.

(4) They can be cheap, they can be pricey. They're the new jeans, ANYBODY can be an antisocial twunt*
no matter what race/class/age/sex!


Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

(But their faces were a picture)


*not actually the words used
