We were in Africa in what was their late winter, which was about the same temperature as it was at home at the time, late July.

The locals were all reasonably well wrapped up for what was quite a nippy time of year for them and he had to have his knees out didn't he? Talk about grockle!

Hmm...I'm of a 'certain age' and do not like wearing shorts, even in an Oz summer. I'll wear them in the house, but outside I wear long lightweight trousers.

Not due to any sense of fashion, but more a fear of melanoma

OH was in the Navy, where tropical rig was shorts, knee-length socks and shoes. He won't wear shorts in this country, but puts them on if we are abroad on holiday, with sandals and definitely NO socks. His shorts are plain, usually a variation of brown and look quite smart.

But - he insists on changing into long trousers in the evenings.

Me? I wouldn't be seen dead in shorts. I'm not the right shape!! :-)

OH is 6'8". He looks like his legs should bend the other way like a flamingo.

It took a lot for my hubby to wear shorts .it had to be 90'in the shade before he agreed he didn't even need a jumper !!

He would only wear shorts at home ,wouldn't go out in them which was a good job really as he insisted on wearing socks too . Only needed the knotted hanky to complete the ensemble
:-D :-(

and shorts!!! as soon as we get some sunny days you see men of a certain age wearing shorts that look like they haven't seen the light of day for years - where do they get them from? were they issued with demob clothes? :-S :-S :-S
