As for ridicule, surely dragging people round the schoolyard by the loop thing on the top/back of the hood was much more fun.
and that's undermined my fundamental belief that the sole purpose of those things was to attach the unfortunate soul to the metal bars on the back on the bus seat, with hilarious results when it got to their stop. I am amazed to find these things were multi purpose, perhaps somebody knows of another use, (primitive adolescent Arab strap perhaps?)" You've just reminded me of another use as well. Zipping the hood right up into "honestly I'm not a scary stalker type person" mode and slipping the loop type thing over a coat hook in the cloakroom. Cue literally minutes of fun watching the poor sod try to get themselves free. I just remembered, I had another Lord Anthony coat, this one was more of a jacket, but this was no ordinary jacket. Oh no.... it had detachable sleeves.
