The ones here just look like thugs, or wee boys that have done something, or are about to do something, wrong. They also look like arseholes when everyone else (probably them too, but too ‘cool’ to admit it) are sweating in the afternoon sun. They also must have very bad neck posture, they are usually bent right over, hood in eyes, trying to read that ‘all important ‘ text from fellow arsehole.

GlasgoJambo Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I’ve continously owned hoodies since I was 11 years old. Easy to wear without looking like a thug and keeps your head warm on a nippy Scottish day. Appreciate Victorian’s comments and might stop wearing them when I eventually hit adulthood.

All I can imagine is a guy with a handful of steaming hot instant mashed potatoes, probably dripping through his fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Izemore Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’m in my fifties and will wear my hoodie if I’m going out and the weather looks like it could turn nasty. I keep the hood tucked into my jacket unless I need it but I’ve no qualms about using it. Umbrellas on the other hand as for bams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it wasn’t for that reason, Marv. She used to say it when my dad gave her some money for her own personal use, as opposed to when he gave her the weekly ‘housekeeping money’. She didn't work and therefore had no other way of getting some money of her own. Apparently this ‘pin money’ was quite literally used for the purchase of small items, like pins. As far as I’m aware!
