High Wall Couture #1 The Snake Belt

One of the most versatile clothing accessories ever made. When they were new they had a bit of ping in them, but that soon went due to hooking the "S" on to railings to see if it could double as a "Japs & Commandos" grappling hook.

Also used as a "Planet of the Apes" "Dr Who" style tether for captured humans.

Came in a variety of school colours from the Clan Hoose or Parker's Store.

The only thing that those belts were no good for was holding up yer keks! I am sure that they had a built in self destruct mechanism which meant that all the elasticity went out of them in no time. I can remember having to tie knots in the bloody thing just to make it stay round my waist. Still it meant that the gadgie who owned Clan house was getting his nest feathered!
