Hug a Hoodie

Yes, really, be like our new Prime Minister and go out and hug a hoodie today.

Ah, no, sorry, not one of those sorts of hoodies, not one of the sort you wouldn't want your daughter to be associating with. No, the other sort of hoodies, the ones you actually wear: you know, the sort that might aid iyou in your adventures to beget a daughter?

It is, after all, September, we can already feel the icy winds of winter beginning to arrive (and aren't we lucky with our lovely British climate, eh?) and it is time to work out what we're going to wear so that we have a chance to survive until the balmy days of spring.

The range of hoodies (and the quality, if truth be told) has expanded enormously in recent years even as the now Prime Minister has been mocked for his comment. There is of course the usual track suit style with a hood which we all know and love but there are also variants that will allow you to pose as a Canadian lumberjack in checked flannel.

No, No, please don't start singing that song, we all already know it and that's not the association we're trying to make.

There's more to it than just buying stylish clothes and keeping warm of course. By buying online you'll be reducing the effect on hte environment, as that report trailed through the papers yesterday showed. As long as the delivery van is making more than 25 deliveries every time it leaves the warehouse (which they most certainly do) then carbon emissions are reduced by online shopping, not increased.

And of course, the more people who shop online more often the more the planet gets saved, eh?
