Todays rant. Balaclavas wearers, What the F*@k is wrong with you?!

when i were a lad everybody wore them on the walk to school.
i'm all for a balaclava renaissance.
i wonder if you wore one walking down oxford street how long it would take before you were stopped by the police and asked why you were wearing it (under the auspices of the anti terrorism laws)
obviously the reply would be "because my face is cold".
i guess if you also wore camouflage or a long wool coat you might freak a few people out.
i believe they are leniant if you go into stockwell tube with a balaclava ;)
