They were called plus fours because they were so baggy they would accomodate you and four other people?

I weakened and looked
Its Mr Gardener's fault - I wanted to see what he fancied and why

[Mr Gardener]

Fashion always comes full circle, I might get in there and start wearing them now... be a trend setter... plus imagine how many climbing beans, chillies, etc you could harvest and carry home in a pair of those bad boys...

There are some veg that shouldn''t be carried in your plus-fours ...............

[Bill HH]

The real reason they are called plus fours is that the Innuit Eskimos used to pack the legs with polar bear poo which would ferment and heat up. It was estimated this heated their fiddly bits by an extra four degrees, hence plus fours.

Plus four degrees below ..............I assume

When I'm gardening I look like a gardener.. I'm usually so muddy my husband says I look like I've been down a mine!

I'm a 33 year old office working female though. People are generally quite surprised I like gardening. Most of my life is spent in suits but I'm much happier in my gardening boots and jeans.

See I always thought they were called plus fours because they had a check pattern making it easier to create your own hundred square. Simple mathematics really. Kilts were so named as when the wind blew someone would always shout kill it.

One of Mr Pots friends goes shooting and he wears plus fours its either a tradition or in their rules.

Those boys have always got their hands in their pockets playing with their............pellets.
