Either you are deluded, or you are not the OP.

I haven't checked either way.

Deluded, then.

That’s a fine appreciation of irony you have there

Lately, that would be true.

In the daze before CHARLIE ONE NINER I was a stckler for the old sartorials.

Pinstripes, cufflinks, silk tie - in amongst IT Developers in open-toed sandals and cargo trousers - pays huge dividends, unexpected on both sides of the style divide,

Secreted in my COVID-proof hobbit hole, however, I covertly emulate their working dress.

Have worn clogs every day since St Patrick's.

And (consequently) I am running out of cracked heel cream.

Ooooh God! How I yearn for, once again, the feel of sturdy leather Loakes encasing my pedal extremities - but the missus won't let me wear 'em indoors, and in any case, the clatter of the leather soles on laminate flooring keeps me awake . . . .

I was once issued MTP windproof trousers for operation certain death. Slightly heavier and stiffer so presumably tighter weave than normal green pyjamas. Never wore them but I suppose the thought was there to complement a smock.

Advertise as SAS issue and enjoy the beer tokens.

Heh, you Walt.

'Certain Death'? I was issued some trousers for Operation 'Negligible Peril'.

They were camouflagey and everything and had a natty pocket for boarding passes and a passport.

In fact, I was told that 'MTP' meant 'Must Take Passport'. It replaced 'DPM', which stood for 'Don't Pack Much'.

Man, we were slick. In and out.

Not all of us made it back.

I don't like to talk about it.

If they have a skid mark, egg banjo stain and old mars bar wrapper in the pocket their mine.

'they're'

 

[tazmanian_clogdancer]

'they're'

cheers, fancy doing my maths homework as well?

 

[Gubmint_Agent]

They were produced in a sweatshop in Bangladesh on the 1 June 1996,,
they were cut out by a boy named Abdul, stitched together by his best mate Mohammed and rescued from the 'seconds' bin by a 7yr old girl called Salima who packaged them. HTH

Fixed that for you.
