Inspired by another thread......

Can anyone explain what these things are about?

These are the garment that are halfway between shorts and trousers. They are like trousers, but end halfway between knee and ankle.......like trousers that have badly shrunk.

Do the wearers hope to get a tan on the lower few inches of their legs? Could they not make their mind up between trousers and shorts that day??

MrsH and I refer to them as "Dork-shorts".......because the wearer looks such a dork.

Can anyone explain them? Does anyone admit to wearing them??

i have to confess to drifting up from a 28" waist to a 30" (in my 40's when i stopped playing football) and now wear a 32" for a bit of comfort....Wink

i was 58.5kg on the nose every Monday when a group of us used to get weighed as part of a (their) diet thing.....

these days, following ten years of retirement (bumming round in a MH) a more portly 63kg or thereabouts....trying to do something to stop the slide into obesity....Wink

still plenty of miles on the bike and on legs, but offset by plenty of 'vin rouge'Undecided
