h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

For all the school kid's of the late 1970's one of satan's most hidieous creations.
Did you own one!
A Nylon coat that came in Navy, shit Brown & puke Green with a fake fur trim on the hood. This coat contained so many pockets you had no idea where you placed your 1/2 pence mojo sweets. Of it's many design flaws i clearly remember the useless strap on the hood which was used for being violently dragged across the playground by the school bully before final being spun round and round by the hood while choking till you puke. But the most dangerous aspect was the fact that with the hood full zipped up in snorkel mode when crossing the road you turned your head to look left & right but the hood faced perfectly forward as your body turned inside. So instead of on coming cars or buses all you would see was the bright orange lining. This must have been a major cause of child road accidents in the late 70's.
