This is being put together on fly during the storms having had to pop outdoors to rescue the refuse bin that had blown over from the kerbside where it was put out for collection just before I got to sleep after eleven last night.
Things are moving ahead with this time away fairly well other than this cryptic comment to say that a person one was picking up enroute had apparently stipulated that one wasn't to wear shorts as in that area you'd stand out and could lead to comments and that.
Instead they suggested wearing long trousers or a kilt.
It's rather less that being in a development of relatively low level flats with shared garden that one might be mindful for having a high likelihood of having mothers with school age children of wearing school uniform entering and leaving their place.
One is obliged pretty much to read the room when it comes to shared public spaces such as parks but on the face of it it a kilt in home counties of England would stand out and in any event shorts is a broad term.
For instance while I do have school short trousers in various shades of grey, I do have blue cordoroy ones that next to nobody would associate with school and a pair of cream long cargo shorts that go just above the knee that in this area many men wear all year around.
You'd think the latter would of been acceptable as casualwear or are there torchlight swaying in the night mobs that would create scenes that see men in shorts as a threat to their children running the corridors in that area?
Given I've no long trousers that fit given there is no need in my life for them, to accommodate this individual I'll wear a pair of black Puma trackpants which ironically when worn with a baseball jacket, cap and trainers only saw me attempted to be framed for a crime I didn't commit and told by the police in Cheshire that if I didn't wish to be be on the end any unwanted attention I was to present differently in their area.
That same look was never an issue in London or Surrey.
