     Why do certain people think clothes that are too small make them look 'fit' ?
    I couldn't agree more a tight 12 never looks as good as a loose fitting 14 surely? (other sizes are equally acceptable)

    As you say @Hostafan1 all sizes are acceptable and would mean  he could use his pockets in a meaningful way.  I think I am going to stop now as it is possible I may offend many people and I have no wish to do that - hot and irritable though I am

    I don't think men's trousers had pockets back then. I might well be wrong though.

    They didn't have front flies either, but that all gets a bit complicated.
  • On historical anachronisms, I have seen more than one drama in which someone in Tudor times looks out to sea through a telescope, even though they were not invented till several years after Elizabeth I died. More than one country has issued stamps showing Columbus using a telescope, in error by over a century. It is rather like having Napoleon travelling in a staff car!

    Now I'm really feeling sorry for the poor man. I well remember the logistics and forethought required when wearing a catsuit (even though that was 50 years ago) no wonder he has that strange expression.

    .. or the problem with collared doves in Victorian period dramas.

    Depends on what needs watering the most Obelixx ... if you've only got a little water, and the peas need watering and they're down the end of the garden, then I think yuou'd probably take the water down there ... I know I would.   In the summer of 1976, with a very new baby Wonky, and a newly planted wildlife hedge down the bottom of the garden, I didn't waste water on the pots of pelargoniums on the back steps, I carried buckets and buckets of bath and washing up water and water from the washing machine down the garden every day in order to keep that hedge going ... We used Ecover washing up liquid and 'detergent' and the hedge survived perfectly well and it's still looking good.  Probably doesn't need watering now  :)     

    Did you make a mistake with your dates Dove? Ecover was only founded in 1979 in Belgium.

    I remember a Robin Hoodfilm where they ate roast potatoes. I switched it off immediately!

    I am so sorry, l can't remember anything after the above post. Continuity on GW wasn't it?  Has Monty Don been going to the gym? He's looking well on it.
