Nice bit of trouser!

[red devil]

We're not in court now LB ;-)

[brum]

Yes you're right LB - how could such slender feet ever be mistaken for a copper's clodhoppers?!

*examines feet closely in full length mirror*

[brum]

...besides, I'm a size 9 ;-)

[karter]

well it is summer time (is it?) and the weather is unpredictable so you can't blame em for walking around like this.

Hmmm... so in other words, these are men who sit on the fence. Could be something else to look out for.

They could of course be putting in their bids for the post of Village Idiot.

Word is Dulwich College is 'opening the books' this year.

Capiche?

(Late) Confirmation: bike chain on right

(Can't believe I actually went and checked this - LOL)!

[legalbeagle]

Well thanks for checking all the same!

So. We have three masonic US gangsta members who own incorrectly constructed cycles wandering about Lordship Lane.

Oddly, I feel better for knowing that.

LB (so close to LD!), just think of it as the first episode of the next series of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

By episode ten all will be resolved. In some sort of fashion.

Previously on this forum I have been compared to the beautiful Princess Leia - not six months later I discover I am more akin to a middle aged balding self obsessed new yorker?

Pleased I ain't.

I think when the yoof do it, it's an American rap/gang thing, implying they are "packing heat".

For grown men in suits, it will be a Masonic thingy.

[Moos]

I am told with all the authority of some website I found in 2 seconds of googling that it means that the yoof is showing that he's not wearing his prison ankle bracelet.

LB, you're on fine form - still giggling at your last posts.

[Brendan]

If I may step in here and clear this business up. These fellows were not wearing trousers with one leg rolled up they were in fact wearing shorts with one leg rolled down. The reason for this was because yesterday was Monday.

Honestly, whoever heard of a mason riding a bike?

[legalbeagle]

Brendan, I have always considered you to be a good enough sort of egg and one doesn't want to be contrary. But I can assure you that I know a trouser when I see one, and that was a trouser. Not a pretty one, nor very well tailored since you're asking, but a trouser nonetheless.

[njc97]

Moos, or more likely the have one leg rolled up to show they ARE wearing a tracker bracelet.

More likely is the bike thing. Especially if they're riding fixed bikes - getting your trousers caught in the chain on a fixie doesn't mean dirty trousers, it means your legs gets pulled into the drive chain, blood everywhere and you end up on the floor.

[legalbeagle]

But njc97, I think we established that it was the incorrect leg of the trouser to be attributable to cyclists.......Or do you disagree? Are there places where the bike chain requires the other leg to be exposed? Maybe in France, where they ride on the other side of the road?
