We’ve just pulled clear of February, that dark heart of wintry gloom, when leaden, soggy West Coast skies are at their most lifeless. But how do you spark romance in a torrential downpour, when tearful resignation is more appropriate? And where, pray tell, is the sexy in a hibernal uniform of trench coat and gumboots? For inspiration, we look to the humble flasher, who long ago made a display of rain gear – and little else – to remarkable effect. A special Valentine to you, dear readers. Be sure to share it with someone you love.
