    It was the shrubbery talk that was uncalled for in a thread about style.

    I agree.
    But please don't get me started.

    It is obviously what ticks certain people's boxes. I found it a [STRIKE]bit[/STRIKE] lot eew and until that point had been feeling inclined to join in the fashion threads so was quite sad to walk away shaking my head.

    Ah well. All sorts.

    Well, there were a few remarks that I could have taken umbridge with last night, but I took it all in good spirit. At the end of the day, you take part in a forum on the www you have to accept that you will meet a diverse group of people with different perceptions and boundaries. Assuming no rules have been broken you just have to accept it or log off.

    I have found far worse things off putting on this forum than someone pointing out that certain trousers may be see through :rolleyes: (Albeit in a comedy way). Still struggling to understand the big deal tbh :confused:.

    Certainly nothing that I said to you could or should be taken offence at but nevertheless good for you for being a good sport. I did walk away from the thread as, as you quite rightly point out, there will inevitably be a range of tastes, boundaries and perceptions.

    I think you might have loved it.

    (Not wanting to be presumptuous - does rather depend on how much you like to hear women talking about other women's ladygardens....)

    Ew.

    (It would have done well to be combined with the Bikin Wax thread is all I'll say ;))
