- Jun 16, 2011Duncan and others, Firstly, no, you are correct, I would not let a man dictate my choice of rainwear, not even my Chris.Secondly, I was completely impartial when coming to like a particular type of your Norwegian rainwear my choice of Norwegian regnfrakker. I came on the scene later in life than Harald, certainly, and perhaps you too. I liked the look of the Viking Seventeens right from the start of HHs sets of photos.I think it is the particular blue, or brown-I gather, and the contrasting red lined hood and particularly the look of the material, backed by the descriptions from Harald and HH. I have more recently then examined the files and specific sets of photos and then gone back over recent photos in the monthly sets. Particularly, see Dec 09, no 5, the girl sitting at the mirror; Jan 2010, no. 7, the girl in the laboratory; March 10, no. 7 the girl on the beach - a specially good one from my point of view and April 2010, no 2, the girl on the street corner. Each of these confirms my own vwey subjective, I admit, liking for these Viking Seventeens.Finally, the girl in the brown regnfrakk in that splendid picture of her and the cattle up in the mountains - can you or someone, Harald?, tell me if this is one of my favourite types, please?

Well, well, what do you know. Harald, if there is a LongCoat Society in existence
I certainly know nothing about is.
But I do listen to Kinks' 'The Village Green Preservation Society', and there is also the
'Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society', and with those two I'm satisfied as
regards societies. But if there is someone out with a burning - or raining, if you
like - wish to make a move on LongCoats, please do.
And - what's the fascination with Seventeens only? The Kellymacs are just as good,
the texture even smoother than on the Seventeens.
Kate, would you really let a man 'order' you to stay with only one type of slicker?
kind regards,
duncan

Don't forget you the Honarary President of the VSAS (Viking Seventeen Admirers Society) Do you not remember your inauguration ceremony and your Presidential address. There is even a photo of it in September 2010 (title the lecture).Like all graduation ceremonies, here in England anyway, you had to wear the Gown and Hood and you gave a very VSA inspiring speecg, I well remember.

You at the top of the steps and me, double hooded for the occasion, just below you?
