Ann Summers Knicker Party


Knickers in the 19th Century


Women did not wear knickers until about 1800. Until then the only underwear women wore was a long garment like a nightie. It was called a chemise or a shift. From the Middle Ages men wore linen shorts but until the end of the 18th century it was not considered seemly for women to wear undergarments apart from a chemise. However after about 1800 women also wore drawers. Sometimes they came to below the knee or sometimes they were longer garments with frills at the bottom called pantalettes. However by the 1830s only girls wore pantalettes. Women wore drawers.


Today we still say a pair of knickers or a pair of panties. That is because in the early 19th century women's underwear consisted to two separate legs joined at the waist. They really were a 'pair' of knickers.

I don't personally sell them! Someone from the ann summers company brings a few things to show the guests & people can order from the catalogue, called a party because you have food, drink & a good time! Play games, have a laugh! Sounds like many of you don't know what it is

What can you expect when you open with "I know this is a bit weird..." Maybe you should have started with Tupperware and worked your way up.

    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends. 
    • Tom is a legend, even though he supports Arsenal..
    • The seller hasn't been named on here, and it isn't clear that it was a genuine misunderstanding, given the contents of the OP. Maybe it should be left as a warning to others to try things out before you take them home. Or indeed before you sell them. If  something seems wrong, it probably is. It shouldn't have taken a public post to resolve things . Also, if the laptop actually belongs to a company, it wasn't the seller's to sell, regardless of how he obtained it.
