SCSC '45 denim - rough and hairy - hopefully no link to the above post there

@smoothsailor brilliant... love it!!

I might try that one tomorrow @Geeman and then collect my P45 on the way home

So this was neither of you lads then???

What is it @Geeman??

^ ahhh yes... and a fine part of the world tis too... in fact, me and the lad are somewhere around the Peaks for a couple of days at the end of the month getting away from it all... nice Supremes, the colour is giving me Michael Portillo trouser vibes from Great Railway Journeys Can't beat mango season... reminds me when my daughter was a tiny tot we used to give her Pakistani (and also Indian alfonso) mangoes all mushed up - she'd get so excited she'd do a "mango dance" in her high chair. Certainly worth dancing for imo.

@Le Clown Bleu agreeing with CSL, that's a good fit imo

Never been that SA OO... twas South Africa... would like to some day though Spot on

^^ depends where you are in the world and who you're with, of course... on my recent-ish stays in ME, SA, India, Bosnia etc the local folk I've been with typically head for shade and keep covered up in the heat. I've just had a milkshake in Leeds student area and there's a smattering of bikinis and vest tops about ^ true... for example my Afro Caribbean mates don't bother with sun screen, they reference their in-built protection... while I'm in factor 50 with a hat in the shade...

Each to their own, of course, but I'm good with covering up in summer - usually both legs and arms. But then I don't really go out galavanting when the mercury is high - I typically get out early or late if the temps are cooler then. So many UK folks are soaking up the sun in shorts and t-shirts becoming uncomfortably hot with direct sun on skin... ending up red raw with sunburn - not a cool look imo and even worse given the increasing risk of skin cancer... I hope you boys are wearing your sun screen !! I lived in a hot climate for years. Local folk knew the score and would cover up, stay out the sun and in the shade, stay hydrated etc. The expat Brits would most often do the opposite, ending up looking like lobsters. I've done the latter too much over the years - as a kid, there was not much sun screen going around and a day on the beach, even in the north west, most often meant sunburn. I know my preference. The jeans need to be sensible, of course - lower weight and spacious - I couldn't personally go all Samurai in high temps like I see around the globe - not my bag but good luck to them. Their dedication to the fades is notable but it can't be pleasant.

We headed into the a/c of the House of Fu eaterie earlier... too hot outside even at 6pm Lad in Pirates (SA) football top / Nike SB; Arl fella in Sun Surf, Nuu, Buckweat, McCoys daisy mae
