Shopping in Lycra

[stephec]

At 59, I've never had a problem with it. There was a guy I was working for who used to mention my ''knobbly knees'' but I soon realised he was overweight, overdressed and drove a gold-coloured Lexus, so it never was never going to bother me. I took it as envy.

But if it happens to me, I'm now preparing my riposte. How about, ''I'd prefer it if you looked at me in the eyes rather than in my thighs''?

I remember when an ex boss got an IS200 as a company car around the time of Alan Partridge, it was hilarious as everyone tried to drop subtle hints into conversations.

I often go shopping in lycra. I quite often go to the pub in it.


Wouldn't be seen dead in a helmet, though...

If the supermarket sells cycling shorts, don't see why you can't wear cycling shorts doing your shopping

What if they sell condoms as well?

So you go to the same parties as WD?

I often reflect with a little chuckle on the leg pulling I get when I turn up at work in lycra. From the fattest and least fit members of staff.

My middle-aged middle looks lousy in lycra but given the state of dress of other people in the shops I use, it doesn't bother me to wear it to go shopping.

Thanks for all your comments. I will continue to do my shopping in Lycra.

We go shopping in Lycra, down the pub, Costa Coffee, eat in Pizza Express wearing Lycra, don't give a shite.

Like - what's plural for Lexus - Lexi ? Kinda thing.

This was the incident I had in mind, pure comedy gold.
