As this is an English forum, maybe you could make use of "google translate" to get your messages across.
The text above would then be posted as:

Well done, you are absolutely right to specify that. We only like pvc and vinyl. Even oilskins are not soft and supple enough to give pleasure.

Seems to be rainwear related so I guess it can stay

Tradmack well done on winning the battle with Liberty’s and great to see that Cordings are still selling rubberised mackintosh’s and I notice they’ve still got the traditional yellow lining. I see they’re made by Thomas Hancock and it’s good to see that they’re still around..

Jammer dat je je niet wilt aanpassen aan de algemene voertaal van dit forum. Das ist natürlich nicht mein Problem, ich werde Ihre Nachrichten einfach ignorieren. Unutmayın ki herkes bu şekilde bir dil seçebilir ve bu dilin içinde yazı yazabilir, bu da forumu daha kullanıcı dostu yapmaz.

Ah divvent knaa what yee are taakin aboot like

It is a safe assumption that any raincoat marketed by current manufacturers, whether Hunter, Scandi or Chinese etc, described as rubber, ought to provoke the remark:
"This is rubber Jim, but not as we know it."

Although it is stretching the term, it is just about scientifically and technically correct to call many elastomer polymers a "rubber", but anyone with above average technical knowledge would take care to qualify the description "rubber" with additional attributes like "natural" or "synthetic" and where the material is a plastic like PVC, to say so. As we well know on this forum, there are many people who want PVC rather than natural rubber, so we all need to know. And we rubber folk also know, the term SBR, as well as meaning shiny black rubber, or South Bucks Rainwear also technically and correctly means styrene-butadiene rubber, which is a synthetic material and yet provokes the same response in me as does a natural rubber.

So what I am saying is that if you spot a nice looking Mack from a main stream fashion house, and the blurb uses the word rubber early on, you can be sure as you burrow down that the word PVC, PU or polyester will eventually emerge. It's the way things are and I don't know about you, but if I see a photograph, I just know. We can tell.

I wonder if others have also noticed that the Swedish schoolgirl environmental activist has grown out of her original yellow PVC rain jacket and got a new bigger one. Each of her rain jackets are PVC, made from oil derivatives and both have the carbon footprint of a titanosaur.

Twas ever the case, I was watching that Quorn advert earlier, meat free to safe the environment. Made from soy beans which they are depleting the rain forests to grow !
Worlds gone mad ! Only my opinion of course lol

Quorn isn't made from soya beans, it is a fungus.
