A rant - sorry. Nothing to do with the garden either.

Well, a few weeks ago I noticed that there were patches worn through around the seam near the crotch.

Are you sure these aren't 'self-distressing' jeans, to give that 'vintage' 'lived-in' kind of look that all the hip dudes are wearing now a days?

You mean the ones that don't seem to stay up so you @rse is hanging out?

No.

Mad. Hope you get it sorted out. I like Karen Millen jeans (in the sale preferably), or Earl. They fit (on me) really well, and hold their shape.

What the greenhouse story? I'm deciding which one to get for home and lottie and don't want to accidentally buy one that is famously rubbish. I'll search the threads, but don't mind if someone wants to shout it out.

Urm; and this is hard for me being an ex punkish type - but I now get all my jeans from M&S.

Hmmmm, M&S, like many other shops don't make legs long enough for me, they seem to think that women's legs only go up to 33" (with the exception of their rubbish tall range which they don't even seem to do anymore) and I don't always want to buy men's

I think it was Norfolk greenhouses being very difficult to put together.

I bought a Palram Greenline Polycarbonate Glazed Greenhouse - Greenline 6'x8' from Garden Buildings Direct and it was very straightforward to put together and works really well. It was also one of the best prices I could find. OH put it together on his own with no difficulty, the frame one day and the panels the next. I would definitely recommend it.

I don't own a pair of jeans

[pdblake]

Anyone ever tried getting a pair of 36x36" jeans from Tesco/Primark/M&S/et al?

You lot don't know how lucky you are.

I ended up buying some GAP jeans from a dude on ebay who seems to specialise in catering for those of us vertically blessed.

Tesco seem to assume that the fatter you are the longer your legs must be. What you need is a 48 inch waist

I'm working on it!

They also assume that if you are short enough for a 'petite' leg, you are also a size 6

When I once complained that a well known dept store did longer length legs but not arms I was told to buy a larger size as they have longer lenght. It was a suit jacket for Gawd's sake, I'm a 10, to get the right arm I needed a 18, she didn't understand why that was stupid........

Neither do I - what about the left arm? Or are you a right arm man kinda gal?

Would you feel bad now if I told you I didn't have a left arm?

[HeyWayne]

I'd say you were pulling my leg.

Besides - it's just armless fun innit?

Oh dear, that was bad
