I have not seen any of that in my swim groups - we are all really down to earth, practical people with an earthy outdoorsy love of the land and water... They dont know what their missing And actually Aldi mens fishing bin n braces is my dryrobe option of choice! Is like living in a sleeping bag - absolutely brilliant - and £25! Isnt it great that it's coming to longer swim season - 41 mins on Saturday down the river - GORGEOUS
