Hi all,

Due to Royal Mail being basically useless, my planned garb to wear to Goodwood Revival tomorrow is in a sorting office somewhere.

Where the hell do I find a white boiler suit on a Saturday afternoon? All help massively appreciated!

Your local Screwfix.

Buy some boot polish and spread it around as well.

See you tomorrow.

Army Surplus stores are usually a good shout.

I've checked, and they only show navy on the website. Do they actually sell white ones too? Internet-friend discount? cool

You could buy then at the Goodwood shop yesterday. We got a couple for guys maning our stall. Rather nice too to be honest!

You're not hoping that a white boiler suit is going to look like a cotton race suit are you?

I don't have white but I have a navy blue one if that helps.

It has a few stains, but they'll wash out...

That'll be Kenneth Gee workwear. The story goes that he measures your inside leg even if you only want a hard hat. You'll see what I mean if you ever go in there!!
