    My mother even keeps the carrier bags from the Fish and  Chip shop ( plus the smell as well!image) !

    Hazel - you need a well aimed, lit match.....image

    I just don't keep 'stuff'. I have very little 'stuff'. I'm a champion thrower outer. Lots of house moves in a short space of time makes you focus.

    Having had to clear my parents' house, including the original kitchen in the house, which my Dad kept in the loft, I'm making life easy for my two when I go. Hope they appreciate it...image

    I know  the theory of decluttering. I have boxes of old chargers and adapters and I have no idea what they're for. I have important looking bits of plastic that have fallen off things but I've no idea what. I have boxes of pens, most of which probably don't work anymore. The list goes on......

    Why is it assumed that:-

    If you're slim, you're short? Try finding size 8 or 10 jeans in extra long.

    If you have tiny feet then you must have legs like a bird. Mine are skinny but obviously not skinny enough for my size 4 feet. 

    If you have a small frame then you have no "girl parts" on it.

    Everybody wants to wear black. The only black clothing in my house is leather motor cycle gear.

    Girls have a boy to do "boy's jobs". Waders start at a size 6...any boys feel like clearing out my pond thanks?

    Ladies gardening gloves generally come in pink or white as do ladies golf gloves.

    Until very recently, steel toed footwear in ladies sizes only came in white!!!!!!!!!!!

    Girls are incapable of lifting or using power tools...I would quote from this forum but it won't do inter thread quoting.

    Anyone wants sprinkles, chocolate or otherwise, on their coffee. image

    One wants ones scone heated. If it was fresh it wouldn't need to be heated!

    Time for another sprinkle free coffee. No doubt there are more but these'll do for now. Don't be assuming anything while I'm gone! image

    Following that line of thought then, why is it assumed that all women are issued with one of 3 regulation leg lengths, short, medium or long - but men's come in 2" gradations?

    And all women have the same length arms, regardless of any other change in dimension. Well known fact.

    my work trousers fit, (ell fitted , too big now ) me at the waist,but I could have got a whole extra bottom in them. 

    For whom were they modelled?

    How many bottoms have you got? I understand that the common prejudice is for one.

    Hubby, who is built like a giraffe, says only Paul Smith make shirts which are slim fit , but have sleeves long enough for his gibbon -like arms.

    I too have Gibbon like arms. I forgot about those! image I generally have to go for 3/4 length which I prefer anyway.

    pp, the irony is, he usually folds back the cuff as Sir Paul usually has a nice fabric on the reverse of the cuff.
