Tsk!  River Island these days!  The store looks as if Penelope Keith shed her entire wardrobe for fashion archaeologists to pick over and reassemble into some hamfisted account of how people wore things in 1975.

Heritage museums, with their frowsy displays of deformed mannequins dressed in clothes of the period, are not more disturbing places than clothes shops of late.  At least in River Island we're not expected to heave coal or scrub the front step.

£16.  At least it's not itchy.  Oh, <looks at label:  angora and wool mix> it is.
