The jobless are no shirking scroungers – you try living on £65.45 a week

They're boots, try google.
I use those cloggi thingys, but I broke 2 pairs, so I got my money back and cut up some old wellies that were too small round my huge calves (:o) and use them as the same. Much better and last alot longer, free too

No good for horses though, but early in the garden moving plants, cloches and chickens around, perfect.

All the above tends to argue that naturism has much to commend it.

Naturists tend not to care how other people look and they're all very nice people, anyway.

Can't do this anymore as field is too far. Used to though. Have been caught out far too many times now though.

I love that I'm so ''classy''. I never used that word pre internet.

I think I'm....flexible. As happy with oysters as fish 'n' chips. But yseters have FAR fewer calories and edge into the lead on that basis.

edit: as for poor maybe instead of not as poor it makes more sense to thing of me as a bit tight? Different spending priorities? And childless!

Mrs P worried about that, too.

So we figured the best way of not being caught out was to holiday every year at different naturist destinations where you're only noticed if you're wearing anything.

We regard this as good practice for the era of austerity about to befall this country, when no-one will be able to afford any clothes apart from a hat and some galoshes.

The increasing unaffordability of menswear in particular is already evident: I've yet to see even a political party leader with a tie.

Not so worried about holidays as at home. Our house has a disproportionate amount of glass...it leaves little place to hide when someone appears.

This convo has now gone beyond my understanding. I admire your depth and breadth of knowledge though Pastures.
Could you give us an up to date guide to the faux pas of modern dogging?

Never been .... but I believe some regular posters in this forum are active in the sport.

I agree. Pastures needs to explain, otherwise the next time my wife and I take a walk in the woods and encounter an ugly man with a noticeable election, we won't know what's happening.

That'll be a scoutmaster, checking his tent for leaks before the summer starts.

Interesting, lor. It was for that reason we were thinking of buying into a naturist community full-time.

But then we heard that whichever Government gets elected this time, they're going to have to re-introduce the Window Tax.

So as everyone will be busily going around bricking up their casements, we've decided we may as well stay put.
