Bad Off

[nicebloke1]

There seems a hell of a lot of people bad off? out of work maybe, I've seen such a lot of folk walking round in jeans with all holes down the front/ around the knees, don't they know how to stich them up. Really feel sorry for them.

Price of thread innit tho.

You are a bit out of touch...it's a fashion trend. The well worn look. ;)

[gingejbee]

....that's one of the fashion statements, currently.....didn't you know?

[Mamyalynne]

Ever time we have a thread about this, I'm surprised how many think it's new - decades old (the trend not the jeans).

They used to be butchers before they lost their businesses to the supermarkets.

[Mamyalynne]

Wibble!

[pixie374]

At least supermarkets roll the meatballs for you. A positive, surely? :-)

[bookbinder]

I suspect that nicebloke1 is poking fun at people who wear tattered and torn jeans.

[Mamyalynne]

That's just unkind, surely not.

I think he's going to jump in and tell us it's cheaper to make your own by buying ordinary jeans and slashing the knees yourself.

[pixie374]

I'm sure we have all done that too... but they don't hang quite the same.

[Mamyalynne]

bhg, that's how I got my first pair in a way - they went at the knee from crawling on the floor when the children were babies.

[naomi24]

They sell those holey jeans in supermarkets. ;o)

[bhg481]

Mamy - me too but I got fed up of sticking my toes through the knee-holes when I was putting them on, hence patches.

[ladybirder]

I know someone who's got one red knee and one white knee because of wearing those.

typical, it's like Aeros, isn't it, you pay for a full chocolate bar and find you've paid for a lot of air as well. They've probably taken all the bits of denim they've cut out, and sewed them together into a roof for the garden shed.

[Mamyalynne]

Always use sun screen.
