tis true....iam ashamed 
only wore one twice in my defence and both times were cos i had a bit of an ear problem....once again,iam ashamed,lol.
Just dont like them,you cant hear owt and theyre un comfortable etc etc God knows how MOJO goes on wearing his down to the local blue oyster bar every Friday and Saturday
And.....yep youre right star,i like to keep up the good ol east coast tradition of surfing with frozen hair and icicles hanging from each nostril......and then a good northerly breeze to numb you into submission.Numb you almost to the point where you begin to think youre still surfing cos either a)its in your blood,you cant get enough...or...b)youre a total thick dumbass f**kwit
i prefer to think its option (a)

Well I have been given these prices from a shop in Cromer.
Good winter suits start from £116, Summmer suits from £79.95
So I'll have to get my butt up there and then get in the water.

Can't afford both, not sure weather to buy a winter and get hot in summer or buy summer and put up with the cold for now and save up for a winter one.

i'm probably not the best one to answer that question cos we all know what i'd suggest
but seriously, it depends how much you feel the cold...best idea might be to buy a 3/4 suit which you could wear in summer and not get too hot but you could always wear it in winter. maybe you could buy a neoprene rashie to go under it too..they're not that expensive

Yeah I do feel the cold. If the surf looks good for Sunday I'm going to take a trip up to Cromer so if shop is open I'll pop in and ask them and maybe try a few on.

good plan..if it's just a local shop though prices are likely to be more than you'd pay somewhere where there's more shops selling the same goods...SW for example
