shop assistants - BAH!

rabbitearbandicoot — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 07:01:42 GMT

I went to one of the big chainstores the other day. I saw men's undies and they had a pack of seven - each labelled with the day of the week - ie Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday etc ...

I said to the lady ... that's no good to me - do you have any labelled January, February, March .....

You should have seen the look I got ..

It probably would have been worse if you had told her - you get 14 months by wearing on both sides.

It is 4 days per pair. You can reverse them inside out !!! She really would have been horrified then.

You think the same way as Elizabeth I who reputedly had a bath once a month, whether she needed it or not.

Not unusual as we were 1st cousins.

We washed our collars & cuffs together - every 12 months would do it..

I had a little holiday LOL but I was around.

As much as I might wear the same clothes at home for a day or two, i couldn't go without washing jeans for long.
Especially in the hot weather..

The examples I put were in the military, you wouldn't have wanted to be within 100 metres of us LOL
My trousers really did stand up against the wall by themselves they were so dirty.

That reminds me of the doctor doing a Op on my arm, he said I will try not to leave to much of a scar.

I said thats ok I will just get a tribal tattoo to cover it up, he look shocked till I said just kidding 🙂
