bs3 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I do like the City Christmas jumper but I think they missed a trick by using a rain deer insted of a robin. Its like Bristol sport is trying to hair brush our robin from history, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted December 14, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 First thing my wife said too! We are the Robins - a trick missed As for sizes, when it was first launched online they only sold small and medium sizes. . . Who knows why but there are a number of items onsale in the shop that are a small selection of sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cruel and illegal activity involving the 'pincushioning' of small birds with dozens of wooden cocktail sticks until they resemble hedge-hogs .... Thankfully its becoming rarer and rarer in most areas now but its believed the practice still exists in some isolated rural communities where annual 'hair-brushing' (or to use its traditional name 'Horacing') competitions are still held. Membership of the 'Horace Society' and entry to hair-brushing competitions are strictly controlled and restricted to holders of bona fidi 1960"s and 1970's Blue Peter badges. Little more is knoiwn about this , what can only be called a 'cult's activities and practices, (ps although widely believed to be a dying activity there are signs of recent urban resurgences - how many sparrows have visited your garden in recent times? ) Anyway thats 'hair-brushing' ... robins, sparrows, even sometimes budgies and canaries .. Goodnight , dont have nightmares. WH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I've got one and when I purchased it the lady in the shop said they really underestimated the demand for these. I purchased one of the last larges. Very happy with it and looking forward to wearing it Xmas day. Impressed by the quality. But yes really should have been a robin and the badge could do with being higher up as if sitting at a table can't see the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
