i asked my mother this question not so long ago as i couldn't remember. I was about 4/5 and in town with my mam when we past a sports shop and she seen a lovely red scarf and woolly hat in the window and went into the shop and bought them for me, she also told me that my old man (a hammer) threw them in the fire a few weeks later (C**T) because i was being bold, when i found out about this a few years back i said it to the oul fella in the pub and he said everything was true, i felt like dropping him!
