StephenFord 866 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hope this hasn't been on these pages before ! - A bloke from Dud-loy - that vibrant and scintillating resort of the West Midlands - was invited to a fancy dress party. He decided to go in retro clothes, like those mentioned above, and to his great delight found a shop in the middle of town, that specialised in the very thing. After explaining his requirements, the shop assistant suggested "You'll need a pair of platform soles then," "Very noice," he replied. "...and flaired trousers?" "Yeah, gryte!" "Kipper tie?" "Well, thanks very much - milk and two sugars please." 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 One thing that come's to mind when thinking of naff fashion is when long strait skirt's briefly came into fashion in the 60's. Me and my besse mate( who shall remain anonymous ) brought ourselves some fabric of the market on pay day and made one. Beautiful they were with a slit up the side, or so we thought .Tottering to the Bus on our way to the Lacarno this bloke shouted ayup meduks couldn't ya find no scissors. It didn't dampen our spirits.LOL 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The term hippy originally came from ' hip ' - sophisticated; currently fashionable; fully up-to-date. Looking at those three though? I also became a hippy myself for a while, but the 'free love' was another lie! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I used to buy flowered shirts and ties from Lawrences down at Hockley and my Dad used to buy the same. I only wore the stuff because my girlfriend liked me in them It must have worked because we've been married a long time. Whenever she asked me what I would like her to wear, I would tell her just wear the clothes you were born in. Bless her. She had a lot to put up with (NO PUN!!!!). I still feel comfortable in what I've always worn for leisure. Tee shirt and jeans and light shoes - maybe trainers (but not expensive ones). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Whats wrong with an ear ring? I've worn one (left ear) since 1976 but not always the same one. And sometimes I wear one each ear ( the pair are somewhat special )............Expensive too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 #19 - Bubblewrap, are you saying that you have a spare pair of ears? ! It reminds me of the notice outside the shop, "Ears pierced while you wait." Is there any other way of doing them ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I could have fun here(hear ) I could suggest the next time I see an ear piercing service see "IF" I could leave my ears & collect them later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
