Sights in the City

This week has been a series of 'bad hair days', it has been hectic, stressful and not very productive.  I usually get some inspiration for my weekly blog when I go out an about doing my weekly shopping or other event.  This week I have been surrounded by workmen of one description or another so I have seen 'builders bum' from every angle.....and none of them were appealing.
 
Having waited 2 extra days to get the plumber to fix the toilet, when I got the bill, I am sure he charged me extra for the view!


Returning from my local shops, I was walking behind a young man, and I couldnt help noticing that his low slung jeans were the lowest I had ever seen, whilst I was marvelling at how he was able to defy gravity and keep them up.....oops they fell.  He quickly yanked them up and carried on walking without even breaking his stride.  Clearly this happened quite a lot.

Being in a bit of a bad mood... I couldnt help it.... I caught up with him and asked him why just didnt wear a belt or buy his proper size.  He looked at me like I had gone mad and laughed and said 'its young people's fashion you wouldnt understand'.  I agreed with him, as the thought of buying a skirt that was 2 sizes too big and having to 'yank it up' every time it fell down around my knees is not my idea of fashion.

   
Urban Man Fashion?
Come on Guys, I am sure it wouldnt look any worse if you just put on a belt and pulled your shorts up.  We will assume you are wearing underpants even if we cant see them.  I won't even mention the rolled up vest, its him expressing his individuality.

Next week I will be back out in the City and I will be leaving the local youngsters to their fashion!

If I were you I would do my own plumbing to avoid paying an extra charge for such an unpleasant view!

I always make sure that I have had my breakfast or my lunch before any workman appointment where the job requires him to bend down! May be we should create our own feedback form if the trader does not have one!
Advise- always were your size even if you are dieting. Do not try to buy or squeeze in the size that you are hoping to be after your diet. Done that in the past and still have clothes with their price labels in my wardrobe (Lol)!
