You youngsters dont know what cold is !!!!!

I was told this by a lovely elderly Gentleman today in the shop about "How cold it was on the Russian Conveys " in World War 2.....He prediced to say that the coats they used to have were Wool and when wet was the quickiest way to get Pnuemonia...So obviously i show him our NEW top of the Range Jackets and he was gobsmacked how light they are compared to his Old Coat ......."Well he said "I maybe back in time .......

 Didnt think much of whether he would be back but he came back an hour later with his wife and bought 2 jackets for £144.98.......He was well chuffed and so was i as we battered target again as this Mid Season sale has been MONSTOROUS for us .........

 Stuff he told me made me realise what Hero,s all them Soldiers and serviceman were over them wars ...........

I know this is not quite the Russian conveys in World War 2, But i know how important it is to the have the correct clothing in cold weather. I grew up in Gander Newfoundland,Canada in the winter temperatures used to get down to  

-30 degrees. The snow! well i have never seen so much snow in my life. The key to surviving these temperatures was good socks and a good water proof/wind proof coat.
