Problem with my trouser fly....

[Fab Foodie]

.....well not specifically the fly itself being a problem, but the operator seemingly forgetting to zip 'em up.

It's been noted by many that I'be been going around with my flies undone. I thought it due to cheap Tesco jeans, but no! Ive noticed it with other trousers and shorts too.

It seems I keep forgetting all of a sudden to do them up and clearly don't notice the draught.

Senility it seems creeps up on you in your 50s....

Should that statement not be suffixed with the words 'your honour'?

You say that in jest, but I find myself, 56 next week, anxious about the decline in my faculties. It may be normal aging, it may not be, either way it is bluddy frustrating.

And I'm convinced that one day someone will demonstrate the increase in senility is linked to the toxicity of the lead they used to put in petrol.

+1, well that's my excuse anyway I wear cheap supermarket work trousers and have noticed quite a few times that the zip is down when I'm sure I'd made myself respectable.

The most worrying instance was being asked by a female colleague what *that* was poking out of my trousers. Luckily it was the bottom of the button cuff of my shirt but it was a pinky colour.

It's the lack of the little tag at the back of the zip-pull, which locks into the closed teeth. Either it's too small or it breaks off.

Thanks, I'll check...but in this case I'm certain it's operator error :-(

I might be loosing my marbles, but I still have my...(now what was the word.....) self respect.

Thank goodness lycra doesn't have a zip so we have no fear when cycling with you lot next time

Only standard on zips of a certain quality...

YKK also have a latch mechanism as an alternative to the tag.
