    I've noticed that a few times when watching the bonus features such as 'the making of' on DVD's - that the crew all seem to be wearing North Face gear.

    There's one thing I can agree on. When I had to brave a Moscow winter, North Face was the only choice.

    Not sure why he paid £400+ though, the McMurdo parka is only £230 and plenty warm enough for -36C

    Also, get back to the Ashes thread with your clairvoyant predictions. We missed you...

    Does the North Face jacket cover your Aussie shirt at the cricket?

    And being worn just as North Face intended - indoors.

    Totally with you on that one. Wouldn't pay a grand though, I got 3 jumpers for £20 from Millets last week and I was really annoyed they'd gone up from £5 each. Wooly Track suit bottoms, £7 each from Tescos, but halfprice as the missus had vouchers.

    Used to work with a guy who was a walking advert for Berghaus. He had a Berghaus rucksack, Berghaus tea flask, and a collection of Berghaus zip up tops. The tops were in various colours including Red, Yellow and Green, so when we did the go-live weekend he displayed the RAG status for the go-live by wearing different coloured tops as necessary.

    I would rather put on a fleece and a hat when I am in the house by myself than turn the heating on to warm up an 8 room house. Girlfriend takes a different view.
