No, when he went back they feigned a lack of ability to del with his complaint in English an he was in a rush so he gave up. they are too short on the short leg to really rectify in anyway so I plan to kick DH every time he wears them so the limp mkes such things less noticable.

What a cheek!!!

Your ploy might make DH's bare ankle even more noticeable.

Vic Reeves was on Radio 5 for quite a long time this afternoon as a guest.

The presenter later remarked how VR was dressed fully in tweed, and he replied he was a Harris Tweed ambassador.

He must have spent about 2 minutes positively talking about it, the quality, the patterns... exaggerating that people should go to Harris and choose some material for themselves. Make a weekend trip out of it, or go for a week holiday.

Absolutely on trend old Vic. He used to shop with us many years ago in SE London. You know the 70's velvet jackets he wore....cost him £12 piece.

You never know, could be a niche range in lush cerise tweed combined with high performance stretch sports fabric in a London Store soon......but could be toppled by trash holographed fur look animal print. We will see what happens.:o

How exciting. Is that look for men or women, or only Vic Reeves?

How old does have one have to be to get away with "lush cerise tweed combined with high performance stretch sports fabric"? Suspect I'm past it.
