legalbeagle Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I was sitting in the sunshine at the front of Green & Blue today sipping our delicious coffee and doing some work. A man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee, and the other worn in the usual manner. He was in all other ways unremarkable.Later this morning, I walked back to my car, and a different man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee, the other worn in the usual manner. He too was in all other ways unremarkable.As I arrived at my house, a third man walked past me, with one trouser leg rolled up to the knee - and you can guess the rest.Can anyone explain? Is this a football related gesture that I'm unaware of? Is the left knee flashers convention in town? I am suspicious that this is no mere coincidence.......

Ladymuck Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Probably a cyclist LB - I do it all the time (avoids bike chain grease on trousers!). Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11882-nice-bit-of-trouser/#findComment-334062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 But then wouldn't there be grease marks on the legs? Or at least some sort of grubbiness? These legs, all three of them, were squeaky clean. I checked.

legalbeagle Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 They did! But alas no hairy man nipples were on view, and so the mystery remains......LM, I am not a cyclist - what side is the chain on a bike? This was the left trouser leg......

SteveT Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Next time you see one point to him and shout "MASON" and see if he blushes, if he does, then he's one of 'em.

brum Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Is this one of them, LB? If he's not, then its one heck of a coincidence. I spotted him lurking outside my front door about ten minutes ago. He said he was from Kansas in the US and was sucked up in a tornado and dumped here. He asked me if I had seen any of his three 'friends' and a dog called 'Toto'. He's on his way down to you.
