    'hoi' already means 'the', so you don't need 'the' before it. But then you'd know that considering how posh you are.

      Ah! A bodywarmer I would recognise! Where I lived we used to stick loads of stuff in the pockets to make primitive stab vests!

                    When I was at the Country Living fair in Harrogate before Christmas, I saw this old boy dressed entirely in tweed. He went up to a stand selling tweed, and tried on a tweed jacket which looked identical (to my eyes) to the one he was already wearing. He then stood and appraised how it looked on him, before buying it, and a tweed waistcoat to go with it.

                    I have never before seen such a concentration of tweed as Harrogate that week.
