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.Originally posted by minestrone View PostA couple of my friends have 400+ quid North face jackets, one is a stupid idiot who likes to climb mountains in the winter, the other is a prop manager for the films and will be expected to stand out in the cold for 14 hours a day, both of them swear by North Face.
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...

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.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

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.Originally posted by minestrone View PostI look like a walking advert for North Face when I am in the house. Slippers, t shirt, shorts, fleece, hat. Must have about a grand worth of north face clothes.
