The Chat Room / Re: Buying 'flippin' trousers

It's odd that most men seem to favour tight belts. Even those with a huge gut hanging over it. I keep mine tight myself but I do like fabric to have a bit of give. If for no other reason that it  makes a disastrous give less likely.

Just silent prayer is enough to get your collar felt. Not that I ever would.

I sometimes wear jeans, but I hate things tight round my waist.  I like linen trousers and cut off in the summer. Elastic waist of course!

In the UK, if you are an Islamist, an antisemite, a supporter of Iran, a BLM revolutionary, or an LGBT activist that's Ok you can march   around London ot elsewhere being a PITA .

But if you are protesting peacefully against mass immigration or God forbid supporting British Jews you will ve shut down or gas lighted

The  decision wasnt her  best
When Mup's thought she'd leave off her vest
She thought she'd be bold -
But then it turned cold
As icy winds blew in from the West.

Thanks Raven,  but I don't think I am quite the right shape for tight ones like that any more.

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 12:40:07 PM'Mom Jeans' has always amused me ! does it mean they're not suitable for women who haven't had kids ?  :grin:
I've no idea what Carrot Leg, Balloon Leg, or Barrel Leg are.  Ankle Grazers is the only one I recognise.

Straight leg, wide leg, cropped, tapered are some of the descriptions for Bon Marche  Mups, perhaps you could find what you're looking for there  ?
I used to buy quite a lot of things from Bonn Marche once, Alex.   I used to like their clothes.

Their shops round here all closed long ago though,  but I can still order online.   Only thing I don't like with that, is  not being able to try them on first.
I might have a look though.   Thanks.

Mine is, too.

I've been waiting for a phone call about an ENT appt.  but they never rang.
I am also waiting for a phone call from my plumber to tell me when he is coming to fix my dripping kitchen tap. 
Most irritating noise when a tap is drip, drip, drip  all the time. :rolleyes:
