Southampton university uses the Gryffindor colours in it's scarf. 
Therefore I wear it proudly.

I remember originally buying it from the Students union shop one day 
just before an exam when i needed new batteries for my calculator. 
The batteries were 2 or 3 quid but I had no cash, and the queue for 
the machine was about 5 miles long, so I decided to pay by card. 
Unfortunately unpon arriving at the 'till, the cashier informed me 
that cards were only acceptable on transactions of £10 or over.

Time was rushing by, and I needed to head for the exam, so i just 
randomly grabbed a few items nearby to make up the amount; cycle 
puncture repair kit, a couple of pens... and oh yes, one of those 
scarves. The cashier presented the little thingy for me to sign, 
which I duly did. 

Upon exiting the shop and rushing to the exam room, I happened to 
glance at the thingy I had just signed. I was appalled to descover 
that i had just signed away over £20.

The bloody scarf had cost £15.

Hence I get as much use out of it as is humanly possible.
