Do you have a Countrywide near you? I got a serious no-nonsense farmer's raincoat there a few years back. I can walk through torrential rain in that thing and hardly notice!

The farmer didn't need it anymore?  [smiley=curtain.gif]
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

I wound up ordering the one from Land's End.  And that was when it stopped raining.

;D
We used to have the Family Cagoule -- I think it was from Millet's -- extra large size to fit any of us. Whoever had to go out in the rain to the shops wore it and then the kids started taking it on camping trips. Got pretty grubby but it kept the rain off!
