Tight Under Trousers

maw and don't forget the school uniform discussion too!

Half term, MawBroon? That has even less to do with the subject than plimsolls!

Wellies, as suggested by lemongrove, are so sensible for this time of year and, paired with a tasteful onesie - zebra, polkadot, zigzag etc - you have a cosy outfit.

Lesley you will have the last laugh in 20 or 30 years time, when your colleague has developed arthritic knees due to cold draughts, while you still skip blithely along (unless the fags get you first, of course.)

Well that's all given me a good laugh as I wait for the tea to cook . I've never worn tights under jeans as they're just too uncomfortable but I did once wear them under a pair of loose trousers. Got out of the car to call at someone's house and OH yelled out the window what's that trailing behind you? Yes - the dreaded tights I'd forgotten were still inside the trouser leg!!

Good grief Margs. Sharon/Lesley were/was only asking if they/she should wear tight undertrousers. Personally I think they sound painful and I don’t think they/she should. But that’s just my opinion ?

Good grief, Lesleyberry67 - has your colleague always been such a nosey parker? Her thorough interrogation of your reasons for dressing as you do would have made Josef Stalin and the KGB proud!

No business of hers whatsoever - rude cow......

With tights underneath the tight under-trousers?

I should have added that round here it's fashionable to wear pyjamas to Tesco!

W11girl what a good idea. I have some expensive woolly tights I can't wear because they are too long. I'd never thought of turning them into long johns. I shall take the scissors to them this afternoon!

I wear fleece lined tights under mine!

I think you are right there MawBroon. ?
I would always wear my tweed jacket to go into Waitrose ( not just on it’s own you understand.)

Always remember that ‘mites go up and tites come down’
Especially in The Argy.

Not if you have tight under-trousers Elegran ?

Only one tight? Don't you need a pair?

But they are not infrequently a half term issue farNorth.

lemongrove I hope no actual zebras were harmed in the making of that onesie. I think you should be OK in Morrisons or Shoe Zone, but would not risk it in Waitrose.

I remember a TV feature many years ago when builders and road workers were interviewed to ask if they would consider wearing tights at work, as they'd been proven to increase warmth.
Once they knew that the tights wouldn't be worn alone, but would be under trousers, the guys were all for it. (No women workers were included in the interviews).

Why is someone trying to drag plimsolls into this discussion? They are not winter wear at all.

Jockeys wear tights under their breeches in the winter to keep warm...

It's de rigeur in these parts lemon. In fact, you'd be shot if you didn't!

Would it be considered infra dig If I go into Morrisons with
My zebra onsie tucked into wellingtons? I ask, because my neighbour says this should never be done, and further to that anyone who wears a onsie in public should be shot!

How about whether vests should be tucked in or left out? That's just ridiculous Maw! It's the law that vests must be tucked into knickers. Sheesh, I thought everyone knew that!

Better still under onesies, lemongrove?

Are tights ok with plimsolls??

As I said elsewhere on another thread not a million miles away -someone is ‘avin a larf.

It's amazing how much rambling a bunch of grans can do, on almost any topic.
It keeps their poor old brain cells active, I suppose.

what on Earth are you going to do when Winter really kicks in lesleyberry?
Or do you live in the far North?

I live in the Far North but haven't found it cold enough to need tights under my trousers, or joggers over them, so far this year.

Audible eye-rolling, as Maw suggests, seems the right response to this colleague's remark.

If somebody says something bonkers like “it is wrong (?) to wear tights under trousers do I
1) laugh as this is clearly a joke
2) tell them to naff off and mind their own business
3) roll my eyes audibly or
4) ask a load of total strangers what they think?
I will leave you to guess.
