Recently, an article came out in an inferior British newspaper that took a particular member of the Conservative party to task for daring to wear a pair of jeans to work while being over the age of 25. Now, I was on holiday when said article was published and, despite my best attempts, I have been unable to pull up the actual article beyond the headline. However, several kind readers have thoughtfully conveyed to me the essential point which was, in essence, that a chap really can’t wear jeans to work if he was born before 1973.
I was born before 1973 and I regularly wear jeans. Usually for work, I wear a suit – although today as I was only setting up in preparation for the rest of the week, I wore jeans. Anyone who tells me that I shouldn’t because of my age will get a sharp response about it being none of their business what I wear.
So, yeah, I’m with Ms Freeman on this one.
They’ll be telling me next that I can’t wear Speedos on the beach just because I’m 69 years old and weigh 18 stone. The nerve!
Clothing rules are stupid. I’ll wear what I want and stuff anyone who says otherwise.
