Heck Numbnuts,i didn't have you down as aIf I've got to wear something it has to be Speedos, why would you want anything else to slow you down in the water
An acquaintance of mine once pulled me up for wearing what i'd describe as smart shorts. They weren't the casual bordering on scruffy objects we see on certain types,when the sun comes out and they grab the nearest pair they can find. No,these were/are pleated and had/have turn ups on.They're adults who have a job that requires them to dress in long trousers perhaps?![]()
. Anyway,he asked me if i wore them when out socialising. Yes of course,seeing as i don't wear anything but shorts from April to late September at the earliest,i replied. He said that if he owned a restaurant or a pub he wouldn't allow me or other shorts wearers in as no matter how tidy the shorts are,as Englishmen shouldn't be seen in shorts,unless they're by the pool on holiday. I pointed out such examples as Sir Roger Bannister running the 4 mInute mile in shorts and the soldiers in the 8th Army wearing them during WW2. Even then he said they should've had their legs covered up. Maybe this had something to do with him having short fat pasty white legs,which he told me he had. I asked for proof. He rolled up his trouser leg and low and behold he had such things.
Baggy Shorts - Check
Baseball Cap - Check
Trainers - Check
Vest.. eeer just no.
Grey joggers. Even worse with the matching top. Nothing says, "I have given up" louder.
I say this as someone with the satorial elegance of a half filled sack of onions tied in the middle.
I have never seen the point of ties.
Judgy McJudgeface mode on.
The "giant toddler" look you see on lots of blokes in the summer - vest, baggy shorts, trainers and baseball cap.
Those floor length spaghetti strap floral dresses that come out in the summer (usually worn with bra straps on show) that look like they are wearing the living room curtains.
We have no idea how to dress for warm weather in the UK


Cargo pants, cargo shorts. Just what is the point? Waste of fabric. The pockets are rarely used - and if they ever are they look ridiculous.
and he was also wearing a vest!
