Hi just for the record BJ I was leaving comments on this rainwear site for grown ups before you blew in with your insults and rudness

Comment by: BJ on 17th August 2014 at 12:40

Personally I couldn't give a monkeys whether Elizabeth Anne or Margaret or Agness or any of the others 'exist', as Frank insists they have to prove to gain his seal of approval (in return for which Frank gets a set of 'private' pics to do whatever takes his fancy with - which I'm guessing is the whole point of the exercise from Frank's viewpoint). They all exist in my mind and imagination. My mind has a picture of Elizabeth for instance, in her bright nylon coat and her rain bonnet and that is enough. (Although EA, if you don't mind, some idea of your height and hair style would help my mind fill in the details).

But to do that you need a mind and you need some imagination. I doubt very much if Frank has to groan under the weight of an excessive amount of either.

I actually have doubts whether Frank's e-lackey Ken exists but that's not something I stress much about either. I imagine him to be like one of those Woodentop minders most politicians have these days when they're sound-biting for the evening news, standing behind them saying hear-hear and grinning inanely and nodding their head like a toy dog on the car dashboard. Professional yes-men....

Some time back someone suggested there should be a place for seeing plastic rainwear photos.
As a result I set up Rainwear-bound on yahoo groups for anyone who wishes to show rainwear photos or pictures.

Hi Margaret my apologies for Frank do not let him put you off leaving comments we are not all like him I for one really enjoy hearing from you and other ladies keep writing and ignore the Frank Barnard,s of this world.

Frank, Frank, Frank, ever the sceptic!!!! When I first encountered Plastique Unique, in 2003, I put in some really big orders, and received some personal letters of thanks from both Alan and Susie. Reading those would convince you how wrong you are!!

I do have much more to say on this subject, but it is late at night. I wish you all a good night's sleep, and sweet dreams with your own ideal waterproof partner.

Hi Brian if that was the same site I saw you need to go to spec savers and Margaret a new lady claims to be a mac fan well I will call your bluff email me your photos put or up

Comment by: Gareth on 15th August 2014 at 14:14

Hi Margaret welcome back hope you stay this time I would love to see your photos.

Comment by: Ken on 14th August 2014 at 16:06

Hi Frank I agree with you

Comment by: Frank Barnard on 14th August 2014 at 09:41

Hi Brian but have you met her talked to her does she go to the supermarket in a plastic mac anybody can claim anything until I meet one myself I will be very sceptical of claims on the net.

Comment by: Margaret on 14th August 2014 at 06:52

Exactly Brian, I'm even contemplating showing some of my own pictures. It's not that I need to prove a point, it was a suggestion from my husband this morning when we looked in on this site.

It's a pity that Plastique Unique stopped selling their goods. I've had quite a number of plastic coats bought for me from there.

Comment by: Brian Humphries on 13th August 2014 at 22:15

If anyone has any doubts as to whether or not there female plastic mac enthusiasts, just visit the Plastique Unique rainwear site, and view Susie Boult's Gallery 1.

For me Susie is both an icon and a mentor. She claims her wardrobes contain over 1500 items. So when my own wardrobes exceed that item, then I will contemplate pruning my collection. I have over 850 to date, and could willingly purchase a new item every day, space permitting.

So there!!

Comment by: Agness on 12th August 2014 at 09:39

Hello Elizabeth Anne its good to hear from you your mac and hat sound nice I used to have a couple of Rainstar nylon macs my late husband loved them I grew fond of them myself talking with Jane and the others they say you can not get them new anymore does any body know what happened to the Firm.

Comment by: Gareth on 11th August 2014 at 14:26

hi Elizabeth Anne you sound very exciting in your nylon mac but you need to be on and in the arms of a man who appreciate a mac wearing woman like me

Comment by: Elizabeth Anne on 10th August 2014 at 04:17

Hi Agness - good to hear from you again.

I wore my rain hat as I walked to church this morning (about half a kilometre), with a full-length blue nylon raincoat.

It'd be good watching Frank eat his hat, for a start he'd have to find something else to talk through. But ultimately the care factor about whether he believes I'm real or not, refuses to move off zero.

Comment by: Agness on 8th August 2014 at 11:11

Hi Frank Barnard Shame on you there are real mac loving women about I have made friends with them after meeting Jane maybe they do not fall at your feet but they are real and we just might hold you to your word and see you eat your hat.

Comment by: Frank Barnard on 6th August 2014 at 10:06

Hi Trucker I do not know about rain hats but I know my paddy hat is safe.

Comment by: trucker 39 on 3rd August 2014 at 00:15

Hi, lets talk about rainbonnets

Comment by: Jane on 1st August 2014 at 10:44

Hi Frank Rosemary has been a friend of mine for over forty years she has always loved plastic macs and has some beautiful ones may be you have been unlucky with your wife or do you think that you yourself could be the promblem it takes more than one to Tango.

Comment by: Joe on 30th July 2014 at 16:54

Hello what a great site.

Comment by: Frank Barnard on 30th July 2014 at 15:20

what I expect is people being honest if you or any other woman who claims to love pac a macs gets in touch and proves me wrong I will put HP on my hat and eat it in front of you.

Comment by: Rosemary on 29th July 2014 at 17:40

Comment by: Gareth on 25th July 2014 at 10:40

Comment by: Ken on 19th July 2014 at 09:54

Hi Frank I am not sure about Anna but you are spot on about women not liking Pac a macs .

Comment by: Gareth on 17th July 2014 at 09:53
