Yep!

They were among what I had to buy for those first 7 days without luggage. I had no idea they were a bougie brand out of San Tropez until I saw the receipt for the shorts and dress we got at the boutique in Old Town Dubrovnik. Oh well, at least the entirety of my remaining improvised wardrobe was less than half that tally.

They’re great. Much more vibrant and less skirt like in the flesh, dry quickly, and come with a rip stop waterproof bag to store them in after use.

I have one as well, but they are crazy expensive…

I’ve looked at them and they look amazing, the skirt ref was my attempt at a wisecrack since your passenger’s leg covered the inseam. They look good and I would buy a pair when my Patagucci pair dies.

Yes.
Our "I can't remember anything"chancellor is a wise man.
Now we get energy from our "friends" for the 6 to 10 times higher price.

The crew are pretty good at measuring, it's one of the things they do every day and is a key component of their job. So it always irks us, when a customer accuses us of mismeasuring (usually because they've screwed up themselves or they said they measured as we do, then it turns out they didn't).  Or it could be because of this, I grabbed the image from the web, but measuring tapes are often inaccurate and cheap plastic one's stretch with use…

cold measuring vs warm?  it happens.

I'm 2 inches on a cold day. bring the heatwave and you'd see 10

[Giles]

No I fucking wont

^truth.

I have friends who own and operate a flooring company and used to have an employee who swore up and down that an inch had 17 tick marks in it…(17/16).  They tried numerous times to explain you can't start and end on the inch mark...He didn't last very long. 

[pechelman]

yup

never trust the end of the tape unless you've verified it

Pretty common to "burn an inch" on any sort of rule and start measuring at the 1" marker. Just have to remembered to subtract at the end.

having to go back to work never sucked so much!

Are there any of those leather 20 year key fobs left over from the party? I really want one! Maybe with my next order?

[AdamC]

@Choko I am afraid there are not any left, these were handed out at the party

We have a friend who is very senior in the army and Paula and I have been invited to Horse Guards Parade on Monday for the queen' funeral.

I sent her a note this morning….

Understand we have invited to the ceremony on Monday, unfortunately, I will be in Morocco until the following week.  Any chance of postponing until I am back?  If not, I understand, but thanks anyway....G

The answer was no......FFS
