New or used

Post by plastic-london »

It's been a few weeks, so here's a poll ...
Best job? Saturday job at motorcycle shop - I was 13. I liked it when it rained and guys came in in their waterproof gear.
Goal? To meet a gay man who likes rainwear and doesn't think it's strange to tog up in my best waterproofs to go to 'bed' :-)

Hi PL,

This is a really difficult poll to answer and could have done with a 3rd option, "Both". There is nothing like the fresh pungent smell of a new PVC rain suit or rubber boots, that said, used raingear and boots can be equaly as appealing, more so if the previous owner was into the same things as I am!

agree, both would be the third choice as it is often a case of what is available. The option of buying a brand new pakamac a la 60s, 70s style is nonexistent so it is a case of what is available

sorry guys, but I didn't put "both" as an option. it was intended as one of those "If you only have the money for one of these choices, which would you choose?" tests.

Sorry, but black or white has never worked for me.
