Some strange replies.
'People wearing shorts and boots.'..unless they are on a young and comely body in which case - yum.
'Umbrella'...rubbish..... You try walking the length on a marina in the pi**ing rain.
'External loudspeakers'...don't blame the equipment, only the prat that miss uses it.

With us the only thing I can think of is 'All smokng gear'. Relaxed that last year on receipt of a promise to give up. That mistake will not be repeated. Looking forward to seeing what I have forgotten.
