From Ben's mum:

Yesterday we were late up and I admit I dressed Benji rather hastily.
When J. got him to preschool his trousers were showing his builder's bum
somewhat. He hoisted them up and said to everyone in a loud voice, 'Oh
man! I'm really embarrassed! Mummy forgot to put a seatbelt on my trousers!'

And from the mouth of our grandson, Stanley, two and a half, after he
walked away from a showing of "Finding Nemo". When asked why he didn't
like the film his response was, "It's about a fish!"

I cannot help but think we would all be better off if we stopped being
embarrassed about showing skin and nudity. If it were the norm then nobody
would care.
Another gripe of mine i s the neck tie or whatever you might wish to call
them. What is their purpose other thanto make you look a prat?

Hmm bit like someone who rang a phone in which was talkingabout childrens
take on things the other day. apparently a girl found watching the planets
and stars through her dads back yard telescope more interesting than the
stuff on TV. Kind of says it all i thought about the junk around compared to
when I was young.

Briang Bck the tomorrow people I say.

they have 2 purposes that I know of:
1. to show off which school you attended
2. to make you look futher up the social strata than you are. (British
service officers wear ties, other ranks don't)

Doesn't that depend on which type of uniform ("order of dress") is being
worn? Some types include a tie, others don't. That applies to officers
as well as other ranks.

Just checking the rules for RAF dress. This shows on page 8 photos of
men on all ranks wearing ties as part of the "No 1 SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM
(No 1 SD) – MALE OFFICERS AND AIRMEN":

http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafcms/mediafi...4494292B03.pdf

This shows two officers wearing the appropriate uniform for flying. Not
a tie in sight:

A very reasonable objection in my view.

That's reminded me of a painful encounter I had with a pair of braces
when I was about 3 or 4.
The alligator clip presumably latched onto my back rather than my
waistband.

Oh you poor little chap. But it could have been worse. Little lads have
all sorts of bizarre accidents in the frontal trouser area. I for
instance once got a blackberry bramble right up the leg of my shorts.
Many years later I had to explain the scar to various curious parties.
