    O bother, when next in England (April) Iwas hoping to get some sensible length T-shirts in M&S. In France they've gone long and thin which outlines my tummy and, having had 4 children, I would rather they didn't. I have to get jeans in M&S as the French ones are all hipsters which slide off when I walk.

  • Thankfully the hipster phase seems to have passed  now image or I'd be wanting braces!

  • Being a tallish, largeish person I like long t-shirts!I l like things that cover the bum! I'm in full sympathy with people who never throw anything away, though.

    Highland Jeannie, I so agree with you about the cursor on this site. Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it leaps unaccountably to another place so that you suddenly find you are typing in the middle of the previous sentence. Can be maddening!

    With regard to plant catalogues, I've seen lots of complaints in recent posts, especially about T and M. Perhaps we should all write to them and tell them what we think. It is in their interests to respond to suggestions and complaints, after all. Incindentally, I've just heard from T and M that the ffree climbing rose offered in January is not available and will be sent later. I wonder if this means next year, since it is bare root.

    Good morning fellow ranters, I always thought that Women had no problem in getting clothes to fit what ever their shape Men on the other hand once you have a bit of a gut the polo shirts show off your belly button after its had just two washes and shirts they used to come with tails so as you could tuck them into your jeans and not show your bum when you bend over to do some thing ,they are now cut  square on that they are two inch's below the waist line as regards the cursor disappearing the spell checker I think needs some work, for instance if you are writing a long Rant if you check your spelling half way through and then at the end of your script it will sometimes contradict itself on the words it subjects .

    I'm all for the long vest/t shirt, it stops the howling draft on my lower back when I'm gardeningimage

    I don't think it's so much the length of the T-shirt - it's the width once it gets to tummy and bottom, doesn't allow for the gentle curves of the female derriere!

  • I have trouble in reverse. To get things to fit at the top, they frill out at the bottomimage, so it looks as if I'm wearing a tent. Oh for the perfect figure.image

  • Changing topic...bought some Roseclear3 to spray roses. Shock horror. Price seems similar to last year but product is half the strength and only makes 10L instead of 20L last year. Such a price hike is unacceptable and dishonest too. What can the reason be? Should they be more open as to why this has happened? Will anyone ever spray a rose again? Is it the end of the English Garden as we know it?
