We don’t want to whinge about it too much, but the weather up here in Manchester the last few months has been absolutely atrocious. Fortunately, even massive rain-clouds have a silver lining, and it’s been cracking weather for waterproof jackets and outdoor outerwear.

Big hoods… pockets… weird man-made fabrics with funny names… maybe all that rain isn’t so bad after all?

What’s that old phrase? There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing? If that’s the case, here’s some people wearing some very suitable jackets…
