Crimplene, the new way to dress

Recommended Posts

It's amazing how so many of us believe the advertisers :roll: ......I remember the turquoise nylons sheets........I used to take them out into the garden at my nan's house, wash them in a bucket, hang them up to drip dry & put them back on the bed within a very short space of time....how grownup I felt at 10 :roll::lol::lol:

 

I had a ghastly red trouser suit which was worn with a white roll neck............. :whistle:

Now I am over 40 I have noticed that I am starting to get catalogues through the door with crimplene trousers with elasticated waists in them.

 

Yes, I get them too. The ones with the comfortable wide-fitting shoes, the "easy care" floral printed fabrics and phones with big buttons and easy-read dials.

I've just shown that to my DS as a reminder that science isn't always beneficial to mankind..oh the static, and the sweat..I had a nice crimplene jacket that my mum bought for me, in turquoise of course... also those lovely brushed nylon sheets and the brushed nylon nighties...no wonder my hair still stands on end!!

 

But...I do remember my mum manhandling the cotton sheets and scrubbing Dad's shirts before she had a washing machine..what a boon those nylon sheets and shirts must have been

Ugh, shudder. My mum used to get Brentford Nylon sheets - some of those were brushed. I can remember many a warm night getting stuck to those blasted things. Every toenail used to make horrible noises. And of course the static. Now I get quite a big charge going without the need for additional painful zaps and fireworks during the night. I can't wear tights or stockings or anything with nylon.
