Strides, double definition.
haven't heard that for an age, strides that is.

I think of it as an Aussie word.
nope, my brothers used to call them strides over 50 years ago.

NACW got there the quickest but margotester was close behind. Thanks to you both.

The Cambridge Dictionary, which is claimed to be the reference for the normal Alphapuzzles, contains the ‘trousers’ definition, albeit with the comment: Australian informal. (Strangely, the Ultra Alphapuzzles indicate no reference source at all.)

As for locating ‘strides’, it’s simple enough as long as you don’t make a silly mistake.
Not cockney rhyming slang
Thanks, Hopkirk - I preferred the Chambers definition, 'slang, especially Australian.'
