Beware of what you wear

[Capt Lightning]

I strange story appeared in the news concerning 74 year old TV presenter and gardener, Alan Titchmarsh. It seems that N. Korea are not adverse to stealing TV programmes for their own viewing. One of these was a gardening programme where Alan Titchmarsh was seen wearing jeans. These are strictly prohibited in N. Korea as they are anti-communist western decadence. As a result, Alan's trousers are blurred out so that the N. Koreans are unable to see that he is wearing jeans while gardening.

That's what they get for stealing....

Hmmmm. I'm not rich, by any means, but I do love wallowing in western decadence. Yeah, decadence!!!!

I prefer cargo pants to jeans, are they allowed?

Cargo shorts in the summer.

True Story: When I turned 21, my father tried to take me into a Playboy Club in NYC to commemorate the occasion. They wouldn’t let me in because I was wearing jeans!

Some fancy restaurants in the area I grew up in used to require men to wear a dress jacket for entry. Jeans were just unthinkable, so they didn’t keep dress pants around!

When of school age, I can remember wearing what would today be considered dress pants every day to school. Jeans would be worn only by the real rebels of the day, and were frowned on. I changed into jeans only when I got home.

Times sure have changed, and jeans are worn everywhere, in any condition! I had a friend who visited Russia back in the day, and people would literally come up to her and offer to buy the jeans off her body for exorbitant amounts…

What would the N. Koreans make of the decadence of excessive fabric. These hems measure twenty-two inches around the circumference.

On the subject of TV gardening superstars, have North Korean audiences given any reaction to the bodacious Charlie Dimmock, or is that a treat they have yet to see?
