does anyone use an apron when cleaning and cooking

yes, I have a river cottage apron that i got when i won a competition to meet HFW at Taste of London a couple of years ago. i always wear an apron when i bake as i think its more hygienic and it keeps me cleaner...

I bought my husband a pvc apron for christmas, just as an additional little present and coinsidentally he bought me one.
Since christmas day I don't think a day has gone by where my husband hasn't worn his new apron but I haven't worn my apron once yet.

I asked my nan to make me one for Christmas. She made me two and FIL got me one too so I'm a happy bunny.

I wear aprons when I'm cooking and usually keep it on when I eat my dinner, as I always throw some down my front - what a mucky pup

Yes, me too although my husband is worse than me. We always cook together and we both wear pvc aprons and like you we keep our pinnies on while we eat our dinner

Anyone remember Fanny Cradock? She was a very bossy TV cook back in the 60.s
I remember distinctly my mother jumping up to turn the TV off when she said

"Only a !!!!!! needs an apron in the kitchen"

I didn't know what all the fuss was about it was the first time I had heard the word.

also her moments of utter and complete anguish if she had forgotten to take it off before answering the door:rotfl:

"He saw me in me pinny an all" I feel a right fool :rolleyes:

How times have changed, my husband doesn't anything of answering the door with his pinny on. Personally if I am wearing a pinny I would tend to take it off to answer the door but only if I have finished what I was doing.

Do your husbands wear "pinnies" or do they wear "aprons"?

I wear aprons - not through choice, but simply because the lady who does our commercial laundry (and who has already told me when i buy us new chef whites that I mustnt get ones with black piping as she cant bleach them!) is VERY scary, and thinks I am a messy cook, and has no idea how i get in such a state! I do try to keep clean, but I forget!
She struggles to get mine and the commis chefs whites, white, so we are trying to appease her and doing as told! (she is SO scary!)
My nan lived in an apron, it was part of her daily dress, even as she got so that she couldnt cook/ clean, she still wore one, and it brings back great memories she only took it off to go to bingo
