I've got one that must be older than @Stubby, it does a job, but it stinks of damp all the time.

Mate, that's no way to talk about Stubby.

I remember my Dad getting a Northumbria back in the ‘70’s.

It was the most expensive item of clothing on the planet at the time (this was before fashion was invented).

We must have had a good year!

Bloody good coat, he had it for a few decades.

 

I think the simple truth is better stuff has come along since.

The smell of damp, and piss are where you are mistaken here.

 

I can feel a kicking coming on when Stubby wakes up from his evening snooze...

I bow to your superior knowledge. I had no idea you were such a connoisseur.
