Jesus, guys, what have I walked in on? I completely agree about the open top cars, Sam. I drove to Plymouth yesterday and was behind an open top with a pillock dressed for the Antarctic. Briefly, I stress, because he was pootling along at below 60 mph on the dual carriageway as those in open tops always do.

Tea? It was only a little chipolata. Sam. That's what my wife said. Ba-doom-tish

I wore pyjamas in bed as a lad but unless it's very cold I don't see their function at all as an adult unless you're sharing a room ( or hut ) & don't want to frighten your companions. Wearing clothes to bed strikes me as a hangover from Victorian times when even table legs were covered up. If you need to get up in the night, that's when you put them on.

Jim jam bottoms and a t shirt
Much more comfortable, plus the family don't need the sight of me wandering around naked
My Dad used to do it though
To paraphrase Jack Regan, put it away Dad

Things I don't get...
Jim Jams & Slippers in the local shop or on School Run....
Everytime I go to the papershop - there is always someone in Jim Jam bottoms and slippers getting their paper, doing a little shop - but they wear a coat over the Jim Jam.

It's not really an issue for us moggies, Arthur, as we don't need pyjamas Seriously, though, I did wear them to bed when I was younger but I don't bother these days Vi

100%
That is completely unacceptable
It's like they've given up on even the most basic of personal standards

Jim Jams / Slippers combo in public should only be reserved for Hospitals.
When I have the delights of the School Run - there is one who walks their kids to school, in their PJs and slippers. Never understood this - then I discovered - possibly since Jeremy Kyle being axed - they drop the kids off, go home and back to bed for the rest of the day.

I don't get why people say pee instead of pence as it's no easier. It was only 49 pee! Steed

In my opinion it is since decimalisation Steed.
People will write it down as 50p for example and not 50 pence whereas pre-decimalisation it was normal to talk in pounds, shillings and pence. Then it was commonplace to refer to tuppence, thruppence, sixpence etc or a penny, tuppenny bit, thrupenny bit etc.
Clearly words like tuppence, thruppence, tuppenny bit, thruppenny bit were themselves colloquialisms of two pence, three pence, two penny piece, three penny piece. In saying that though I don't know why people called the six penny piece a 'tanner'???
Sam.
