Mrs Frugal Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yes, I did wear pants!! Funnily enough, I don't have special pants to wear on my birthday though. I shall have to remedy that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Oh dear, no ! I like my nice capacious apple catchers thanks . Even the pants of peace are a bit sp"Ooops, word censored!" in the material department for my liking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the pants of peace are a bit sp"Ooops, word censored!" in the material department for my liking . Shall I send you a pair of Rosie's 'big pants' then? She likes them up under her armpits! I can't see her ever getting on with thongs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 A girl after my own heart there, bless her. One should always wear sensible and capacious undergarments . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm laughing at Clare's comment about Rosie's big pants - my Emma was exactly the same at that age and would only wear great big Matalan pants . At Christmas and birthdays relatives would buy her lovely dainty M&S pants and I always had to return them . Now of course she wears a postage stamp tied together with 3 bits of thread .

The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 That made me laugh Fee. Rosie is a real prude, and the idea of her wearing anything other than comfy knickers is beyond me. She is aghast at Lesley and I with our thong and commando tendencies. Emma, can I ask you, did your poor brother think that we were all completely mad last saturday?? I was bopping in the cafe to Hotel California, and we were all having our usual discussions about pants, chocolate, chickens, sheeps bums and cake Me must have wondered what you'd invited him to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 You need a good sensible pair of double gussetted airtex bloomers which come up to the waist and down to the knee and have half inch elastic to hold them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I remember wearing something similar (not quite so long in the leg) at school for PE They were grey and the same pair lasted for 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Oh the horrors of regulation school knickers - ours were navy armpit warmers, and if you forgot your gym kit, you did it in your navy knickers and vest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Yes our school was just the same although ours were purple knickers - big, thick things. Most unflattering, especially teamed with a vest and plimsolls for PE on the school field . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ours were bottle green I was so skinny I could barely keep them up, I think my mum had to put a tuck in the waist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ours were brown and scratchy. Worn with a yellow airtex (that word again) shirt and a short pleated skirt. Not a good look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ours were brown and scratchy. Worn with a yellow airtex (that word again) shirt and a short pleated skirt. Not a good look. At our girls school ours were as above but navy blue pants, skirt and pale blue shirt. We had to do athletics/gym in just the knickers and shirt though My worst memory was our teacher (40s-50s and quite round) theatrically whipping off her skirt down to the gym knickers to demonstrate something. We'd always joked she was into women and it wasn't a pleasant sight for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Can I just say, in reply to clare's earlier posting, that i never wear any cheesewires - she can keep the thongs I was at a mixed Grammar School and so we had the 'luxury' of short black culottes and white Airtex top. I say 'luxury' because they were made of scratchy serge Our PE teacher was erm........ very well endowed and on Trampoline days, all the boys used to come and wait for their next lesson as early as the could The school hockey pitches were in a sports ground about a quarter of a mile up the main road. We had to walk there in our culottes - much to the delight of passing lorry drivers - in the days when both they and builders could whistle, shout remarks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 yay more big pants lovers thongs I don't understand, why bother? And anyway who would want the feeling of a permanent wedgie. Commando I can understand more I just couldnt because with Jeans its sore and in skirts well..... unless of course (actually will stop there)_I dont tend to wear much else (trouser wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
