We arrived in Oz in June 1982, and stayed with my brother in Perth until I found employment.

My sister-in-law had taken us to one of the local beaches and she was rugged up against the cold.

it was a sunny day, and I jokingly suggested that I'd better wear a knotted hankie for some sort of sun protection.

She thought that I was being serious and was mortified .

Happy days :-D :-D :-D

Nuffink wrong with a knotted hankie Allan.

Just so long as it's a clean one!

:-D

PH, I was taught, many years ago when people still used hankies, that the only use for a clean one was as a dressing to stop bleeding from wounds :-D :-D :-D

So a not so clean one would make an ideal sunhat.

It would also ensure that no one invaded your personal space, a very important consideration on a crowded beach ;-) :-D :-D

DH wears shorts when he plays golf, with golf shoes & ankle socks....

So when he wears shorts & sandals, he looks like he's wearing white socks :-D

He's a Neapolitan Man........... white bits, pink bits & brown bits. I'm sure you can work out which bits are which colour.

:-D

My OH went into shorts in late April and it'll be November/December before he's back in trousers. He wears nice looking shorts and his legs are good.

BUT
There are times when I want to hide when I see some of the tourists. The other day we were eating out when a couple of tourists arrived. They were English and we nearly choked on our meals (all 6 of us)

He was in a long sleeve, brown striped shirt, dark blue, quite short, shorts, shirt tucked in. Mid calf length black socks and black leather brogues. It was low 30s C. :-S

OH has two pairs of shorts, one of which are really trousers with detachable legs. That pair look quite good on him due to the fit, the other reminds me of Boy Scouts baggy shorts.

The children have educated him to take his socks off if he's wearing sandals, but still cringe over socks, trainers and shorts. There's been recent comments over the age & style of his trainers, not that they look tatty. What's the problem if they are 10 years old? :-S
