Are you really? I mean how hard have you really tried? For example have you ever made a film about your love of gaiters?

(By the way, I remember I messed up the compression somehow on it, so you don't really have time to read the "opening titles". It says "all you gaiter haters - this is gaiter weather!)
More seriously I can't exactly remember why a decade ago I was inspired to spend an hour of my life putting this vid together, although I have a nasty suspicion that it was probably the result of a vigorous discussion on UKC about gaiters where a gaiter hater was being quite clearly 'wrong on the internet' and we can't having that!
