Shopping anyone?

[John Gill]

I'm comfortable with the thongs, shorts and the T shirt, but a bit worried about the dressing up bit- shades of Mr Benn.

[Les Woodard]

The term thongs was here long before the meaning of them was changed. We where thongs and women wear G strings was the norm. Why I say dressing up is that many places here do not allow thongs and T shirts on their premises so I use the system that anywhere that I am not allowed is to bloody expensive for me. So don the thongs and T for the places that do hence dressing up to go out. Mind you I ditch this attire once winter sets in and it is on with a pair of trainers and dungarees and on very cold days will put socks on as well.

#18, 'thongs and a T shirt for dressing up.'.......Les, Please tell me you're kidding....right?

Mid summer, w
edding in a garden thongs and a T shirt are quite acceptable it does get a bit hot here at times and overdressing can be a problem.

And Marian just think how stupid it would have sounded if 'Thongs' you speak of had been called flip flops befoer we called them Thongs here?
