Anecdote
Are kagouls still a thing?
They were around 25 years ago, when I got one (along with my wife and kids, as we were going on holiday somewhere that showers were likely — Chamonix, Malcesine, Disneyland, somewhere like that. Anyway, we barely used them and they've been sitting in a bag for the past quarter of a century or so.
Not any more! Well, not mine, anyway. I recovered it yesterday and have put it in one of my bike's panniers. That way, when I'm three miles from home and it suddenly starts to rain, I can recover it and smugly keep myself dry (the top half, at least).
This means I shall be carrying the extra weight of a kagoul around unnecessarily for ninety-nine days out of a hundred.
If only BBC weather forecasts told you what the weather was going to be, not what the weather was two hours ago.
