The answers to today's Strands, game #299, are NEON PERM MULLET SPANDEX 
JUMPSUIT WINDBREAKER SPANGRAM: EIGHTIES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

Maybe it says something about me but I spotted the words Break and Wind 
before I saw WINDBREAKER  although this is possibly because its not the most 
obvious of EIGHTIES fashions. 

SPANDEX  which is an anagram of Expands  seems very particular to the 1980s, 
but there is probably more of it around today than then, its just that we 
call it Lycra now. 

In the UK two very particular sub sections of the male amateur cycling 
community have emerged in recent years: Lycra Lads  road racers so obsessed 
with speed and time that they dont care who gets in their way as they go 
aero, and MAMILs which stands for Middle Aged Men in Lycra. I cant help 
thinking both would be less keen on cladding themselves in clingy fabric if 
we still still called it Spandex.
