Save the bobble

Take photos now Tony. You need to build an archive quickly. From my experience this year, the Lidders are taking over and soon the bobble will be a dim and distant memory. I'd say the Lidding rate is now up to around 90%! That really reflects an incredible change in behaviour in a very short period of time (and all without any nanny State interference!)

More bobbles and assorted soft tops around the 3V's this Xmas than lids - a very positive sign.
:thumbup:
Mind you probably like many things - soft tops come into their own in the warmer weather - we need an Easter apraisal of this.
:mrgreen:

and .......
Toviere webcam, Tignes; 33 people identifiable with 13 wearing lids.
Signal webcam, Courchevel; 39 people with 16 lids.
That is 40% en-casqued as we say in France.

Forgive me for a little herecy but what does a bobble add to a woollen hat other than to assist Andy Pandy impersonation?

Is the bobble the skiing equivalent of furry dice?

Clearly a deeply troubled person and a closet lidder I suspect.

Andy, you can get help for your condition.

I've asked people to post photos on the homepage, and got some good ones already.
From what I saw in Die Schweiz, I agree about the Lidders taking over on the slopes, but you can't wear a lid off the slopes without looking like Belgian riot police, so they only have a VERY limited purpose in life.
BTW, I think the lidding is up BECAUSE of the Nanny State, or at least the media hype over a couple of deaths on the slopes.
Remember what Public Enemy said......

Great news Old Andy. Looks like the French are coing to terms with fashion at last.

Who is Public Enemy ????
