A Foat? Whatever's That?

It's a new portmanteau word, I told Bob. Ferret+stoat? Fishing+Boat?  Nope, it is a Funnel-necked Coat! I kid you not, it was in Red Magazine

How ridiculous is that name? Whatever next? Pumper = polo neck jumper, Rardi = round neck cardi. 
Netmums suggest this cream one from Sainsbury's for less than £50.
No thank you. Not with a silly name like that!
Furthermore, knowing my clumsiness, a cream one would be besmirched with coffee stains, or worse, within seconds of being put on. They do it in a few other colours, including "this season's Must Have brown twill" 
Being told something is a Must Have puts me off buying it.
Wrap up warm, everybody - and don't worry if it is the comfy garment you've had in your wardrobe for months [or years] and keep your hands warm with Loves or Witts [leather gloves or woolly mitts]
