    So that’s it is it? An old faithful friend discarded like a used hankie? Talk about Thatcher’s Britain! I blame Brexit, Knife crime, global warming and Ed Sheeran :confused:

  5. Can't you just replace the broken bit, so the old faithful can live on?

    What is a bivvy? Is it like a male corset?

    Mate, I know you might, like all of us, be carrying a bit of extra Christmas timber, but if that is a corset you need to get off the Demis Rousoss diet sharpish.

    I had the MK11 very uncomfortable too low, I was walking like the hunch back of Notre Dame for weeks after I used it:eek:
