    I must have a word with big Stevie. Last time he had his kilt on was Christmas eve, many years ago. All the girls were dressed up, so he thought it was a good idea. That is until he had to go upstairs and all the girls wanted to know what the scotsman had under his kilt.image

    Not a good idea in a shop on late christmas eve after a bit of a fuddle.... Sausage roll and a glass of schloer has a lot to answer for.

    Its not as bad as the factory my brother worked at. Him and the manager had to lock themselves in the office on Christmas eve. He complained of sexual harrassment. The personnel officer laughed all 6 ft 5 inch of him out of the office.

  • Having spent all my working life as a gardener wearing scruffy clothes, I love to wear a suit.

    Conversely , if guys have to wear one to work, I understand why they'd not want to at other times.

     You and MD must be of one mind!

    I have neighbours a couple of doors down, they ALWAYS look immaculate even when gardening!  These days gardening, dogs DIY I always look a mess, I met my other half working in  a garage (I was secretary, breakdown control) some years down to the he said he bet I put s uit on to walk the dogs!  He thought I always looked very smart. I used to bump into workmates out shopiing, (this was a few years later in a Nursing Home) they said why did I dress up, just to go shopping, I didnt, I would have t-shirt, jeans or skirt, just not baggy cotton leggins like them, and food stains.

    Designer scruffy, perhaps.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    I think a bit of ogling, by both sexes, is a sign of being alive.

    I came across a couple at the tip in top-to-toe white delicately lifting identically sized bags of grass cuttings from their boot. The "lady" then took a little brush from a bag and brushed out the inside of the grass bag from here teeny tiny lawnmower. 

    I was the pink sweaty one weilding a giant rake and hoofing my third trailerload of grass out. image

    I don't mind looking like Wersal Gumage in garden/allotment but would go out in them

    No need to look scruffy these days , cloths can be cheap bought 2 pairs of jeans last year for garden £5 each

    What an odd thread!

    Monty always comes over as a thoroughly nice chap, in everything I see him on in the TV.  And Gardeners world is always a pleasure.  I just wish there was more of it..  A little walk through of the plants would be nice.  The balance and pace is quite excellent.  The information bite size.  There's only so much you can take in in one sitting.  And if a plant/location catches your eye, then you can try and remember and look it up later.

    The other half always swoons over Monty, I'm quite happy with that crush.

    I was very pleased to see him roughed up by the garden recently.  I'd rather he ditch the suit and the waist coat.  Makes me chuckle to see him at Chelsea.

    I have pretty much one outfit for the garden, am generally covered in dirt, and am a sweaty mess after about half an hour of work out there.  I fall over, curse and occasionally have my hat stolen by a rose. The glamour of it all.  If I'm lucky I'll get a few uninterrupted moments where I can just gaze into space, listen to the birds and take it all in.
