Hi James (and Sandra) As I said earlier I wear trousers or long skirts (If you saw my varicose veins and cellulite you would know why) Dee ;-)) I went to correct my spelling mistake and managed to delete my previous post ( senior moment, sorry)

Funny that this should be mentioned.... My partner of three years complained this weekend that he had NEVER, EVER seen me in a dress or a skirt although I have them both in my wardrobe!!!!! Chris :))

No, they're definitely not! Went to a local club last Friday night and many of the patrons were wearing skirts of many different lengths. One in particular got a lot of attention. VERY short, sort of dirty denim colour, chain decorations from waist. Teamed with lowcut white top and dark waistcoat, showing 'decolletage' and top of padded bra. Trouble was the makeup didn't quite hide the 6 o'clock shadow, hairy arms and legs and tattoos. Yes, it was a 'bloke'. Pam

Hi James, I wear skirts but, like Dee's, they are ankle length. Mostly I wear trousers, though. Gwynne

When I was working, we had to wear skirts, no trousers allowed, the first thing I used to do when I got home, was change into comfortable trousers. When I retired, I pushed the skirts to the back of the wardrobe and there they have stayed. Nowadays, I wear what I feel like wearing, I just please myself. June xx
