Hankerchiefs

[baggieal]

I love cricket but the pomposity of the “members” dress code and the whole blazer, slacks and tie thing is just ludicrous now.

It’s part of a class system that should have been consigned to history by now, it reeks of superiority.

I’m 60 but wear shorts and tee shirts and hoodies most of the year, I don’t even wear jeans anymore, I traded them in for Ralph Lauren smart comfy joggers last winter.

I want to be put in my coffin in shorts and tee shirt with my hair ruffled up as usual.

Couldn’t agree more with you Mick! We used to go a lot to this five star hotel in Spain with fantastic restaurants but one thing p issed me off - guys had to wear long trousers even though it was baking hot! Girls though could enter in shorts!

I used to take my shorts in a plastic bag and on leaving the restaurant got changed back into shorts immediately. Pathetic!!! Some designer chino shorts are smarter than jeans with rips in or old chaps wearing cords which went out out of fashion when Buddy Holly died!

Having no facial hair beyond those untrimmed nostrils of yours you'd have got away with lippy and a dress. As it was Spain you might even have got your arse pinched as an unexpected bonus.
