    Thank goodness for Google - I now know that sallopettes are ski pants. Don't need any though. :)

    Thanks Jill.

    Going Skiing in the next few months and they will come in use :)

    My last paid costed me £40, bought them when I was 14, so I guess it doesn't fit anymore...

    For anyone going skiing in a French-speaking area, be careful when referring to these garments. Salope (pronounced just the same) means b*tch or !!!!!!...!

    I also read sellotape for this one. Was also perplexed when i read soccer world was selling them cheap. It's amazing what tricks the brain plays on us. We read what we expect to see and hear what we want to hear. Incidently, if it's sellotape on offer you want, some of the big roles are half price at smiths and small ones where on sale at 49p for a too pack (thats pack of 2 not tupac, nothing to do with music)l.

    Think I'd have been more interested in the sellotape.
