Re: The Importance of Wearing a Hoodie (none / 1)

Last year it became known that a number of UK shopping centres were banning hoodies. Someone joked that you could buy one but not walk out of the store wearing it. Then it became known that, after the first shopping centre announced their ban, visits rose by (if I remember correctly) 25%. Blair was quoted endorsing the shopping centres' ban.

A few weeks ago, an elderly woman was thrown out of a pub for wearing a hat "for security reasons" as "it interferes with the CCTV".

Good for the archbishop of York!

Hah, I didn't know that, but I already sense the recent fashion trends. If I wanna look as an outcast, I'd better unravel my hoodies...What are they going to ban next? Jeans? Short skirts? Pockets on clothes (one never knows what could be hiding inside)?

...I'm sorry dear...were you intending to buy yourself one??? Surely jeans are a bit more comfortable...

Red leather skirt wouldn't match my hoodies anyways.
