Do you remember your Mum or Dad saying that?

What do you think they would have said to these?

My Mum used to say "you look like a bag of spuds in that" I was size 10 at the time. Lots of other examples. I would never speak to another person like that, but times have changed!
I love Andreas coat! Very cheery and stylish. Dominic Cummings probably wants to look as low key and anonymous as possible!

Not really my cup of tea. The skirt is a bit short for a woman of her age! Dominic Cummings - well I’m sure his mother loves him .....
My Mum was fairly laid back about my various experimental outfits but she did once refer to a mini skirt as no more than a pelmet. I have one DD who is very conservative (small c) in her dress and another who is wild and whacky and another who loves the latest fashion. I just let them get on with it and kept my own counsel ?

Marmight I'm not sure Dominic Cummings' mum does love him. It could explain a lot grin

Andrea Leadsom is as hard as nails; what a brittle look. I find strange the way businesswomen and some female GPs dress: all bare arms, plunging necklines and see- through blouses. Are they using their sexuality ( not the GPs surely) to get male attention?
