Hooded Monk
I was just watching Lenny Henry's sketch show on BBC ONE and he made one of the best comments I've heard on the silly Bluewater Hoodie/Baseball Cap nonsense so far.
I wasn't going to bother blogging this story, so many have already done it, much better than I can as well - but when I heard the joke I had to post it.
There was a bit of trouble in Dixons yesterday when the security guards threw out three Benadictine monks but they didn't say anything because they were of a silent order.I don't wear a hoodie, I don't wear a baseball cap, in fact I don't even own a hoody and don't actually like wearing baseball caps - they make my head itch, I also don't live anywhere near Bluewater.
BUT, because this silly nonsense of banning someone because of what they wear made me a little bit riled I have decided to buy a hoodie, dig out my baseball cap, fly to England, put on the baseball cap, put the hoodie over the top and go to Bluewater wearing them just to make a point.
I mean it really is a little silly isn't it - another year or so and the fashion would have changed, eight year olds are 'into' hoodies now which means the fashion will be dead within 12 months, then something new will come along for the little englanders to get annoyed about - maybe the next craze will be 'old misery jags' John Prescott masks - will they ban them?What about Michael Glazier - he likes his baseball caps - would he be banned, and Michael Moore? Well I suppose it would mean the end of sweaty American tourists - there's always a plus side!
Also what about JJB and the other sports shops, will they still be allowed to sell them? Will a security guard be posted outside just to make sure nobody tries one on?
The even more worrying thing about this rubbish is that two of the most important polical figures in the country are behind it - Tony Blair and John Prescott - and if John Prescott is behind you - boy do you notice!
Join me in a big up the Hoodie campaign - wear it here, wear it there and wear it to make you look like a pear - do you see what I did there?
