    My dress sense

    I've never been a guardsman, I dont really bother about what I wear. If its comfy I wear it.
    I am generally to be seen at home in 3/4 length shorts, flip flops and a t-shirt of some description, whatever the weather, and it works for me.
    When I'm in work, sadly I have to conform and wear a shirt and trousers, as it is an office environment, but yesterday evening, as I wandered down to the kitchen to make a coffee the house guard said to me:
    "I've seen that man before" and pointed at me.
    Somewhat confused I asked an Urdu/English speaker to translate.
    "Sorry Sa'ab, he means that he has seen people dressed like you begging at the train station."

    Not quite sure whether to be proud or insulted.

    I know what you mean Bob there are better dressed scarecrows than me.
    Some of my T-shirts/shorts are over ten years old.
    Someone once asked me if I sold pegs to the gypsies

        Oh Bob, I feel your pain!
        When the ambulance scraped me off the tarmac last week, I'd been at the lotty all day.
        I had on tatty joggy bottoms, an old tee shirt with parrot poo on the shoulder, mud on my face, black hands and nails, old walking boots ... the lady paramedic was looking at me funny and eventually asked "where were you going today?" and I explained why I was dressed like a bubblewrap.

        .... and when I got home I discovered my knickers were on inside out. Thank heavens I didn't need to go in a bed !

          Dont make me laugh so much, my mum always told us to make sure our knickers were clean and on the right way. Lol

              But clean though TS, so one small saving grace from your whole sorry episode.

                  For work I wear a uniform, so that is always washed and pressed before I leave the house. I'm kinda obsessive about uniform being just right, but out of work I am always in tatty jeans, t-shirts, and steel toecap boots. I see no point in glamming up to do housework or feed chickens!

                      Bob you sound perfectly stylish to me. This season I will be mostly wearing 3/4 lengths, flip flops and t-shirts/shirts, must the same as I was last season, and will probably again next season - ad infinitum.

                      I wore this ensemble to work last year on that day when it was really hot and have been lambasted about it since.

                      Apparently it's quite the norm to wear "thongs" to work in Oz. Imagine my disappointment when I found out thongs are in fact flip flops down under.

                      Haven't heard Sa'ab for ages!
