I went shopping with my teen age daughter once and went in to Dorthey Perkins with her and embarrassed the heck out of her when I shouted across the floor. "Em, there selling jeans with bloody holes in them" One of those moments where you forget where you are. She was out the door as fast as she could caper, disowning me on her way.
Made me laugh - is your daughter actually speaking to you yet ?Â
Thankfully I was forgiven, but it took a while. You know what teenagers are like all those hormones raging ....
'The power of accurate observation .... is commonly called cynicism by those that have not got it.
...ok... What fashion hit the spot with you and what did you think you looked good in? Pointless me having a go at others when I have have my own fashion faux pas(es?)..
I grew up in the sixties where we had the people who liked 'progressive rock - all long hair, beads, afghan coats and loons, or those who were more 'soulful' and went for a smarter look. That was me , two tone trousers and brogues or loafers with button down Ben Sherman shirts. That then morphed into the early seventies with Oxford bags, roll neck sweaters and velvet jackets. Good grief.
This photo appeared on the web a few months back. Didn't know who took it and I don't recall being in it at all. Seems like a lifetime ago - probably about 15-16 at the time.
The photographer was good though eh - caught an era.
Friend requested tomato plants,been asking her for ,6 weeks to collect them,potted them on X 3,put them outside and sign saying 'Help yourself", they have all gone!!
I'm steaming - Marks & Spencer have apparently switched to 'paperless returns' so they make the poor mugs who order online do all the work, use their own printer, paper and ink so M & S can save money. I got as far as printing a Return sheet but can't access the Royal Mail website to generate a Return label - the link is broken. I'll have to take the trousers that don't fit back to M & S tomorrow, a trip into town I didn't want to make. Saving the plant - really?!!!Â

I hate M&S. Last clothes shop to have changing rooms. Last shop to take credit cards. Thought way to highly of themselves and their clothes are not even second rate any more.
Not only the Tory government though is it? Â The Liberals took a bit of beating and Labours done itâs share.Â
But they're not in power now and abusing it, spending our taxes. That's the point.
Surely the underlying, and perfectly valid, point is that they are all at it when given the chance. That doesn't make it right, but effectively suggesting that only the current lot has done the same thing is simply rubbish.
