When I was thirteen we were taking my school friend Widdup water ski-ing on Windermere, in the summer holidays.

My mum phoned his rather posh mum (they lived in Wiswell, and had a study, so they were posh to us,) and told her he would probably need a 'kag'.

Not knowing what a 'kag' was, they apparently drove all the way to Skipton, to a boating shop, thinking it was some specialist equipment, only to find out a kag was a nylon anorak, that folds up to a handy size, and is pefect if it starts to pour down in the rainy Lake District.
