Who wearing shorts?

Post by kwf166 »

Well suppose most of you are, but me being tall and lankly, I look a bit daft some times in certain shorts, but I brought a good pair of shorts today, as it just too hot to walk around and ride a bike with trousers, I know I could order it from royal mail, but I need some now, and besides they didn't cost much :)

Keep 'em navy blue - some of the guys in our office look ridiculous wearing everything from half mast crop styles to ex desert rat khaki. Craghopper zip offs are great - full length when it's cool and zip off the legs when the sun is out - they have a single cargo pocket as well for P739 cards and such .

I got a few pairs of cargo style shorts from Tesco last year. With 6 pockets there is more than enough room for P739s, phones, keys etc and they're really good quality and cheap. Hope to get a few more pairs and yes they are navy blue.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I wear my shorts all year round even when it snows.

I have to admit I do get some strange looks of some people sometimes in the winter.
