thewelk Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Anyone else think that wearing these in public is unacceptable? Or have I turned into a total snob? It's almost a year since I was last in Glasgow so maybe it's always been like that and I just didn't notice before but the amount of people jumpin around in those grey tracksuit bottoms is unbelievable. Of course everyone needs a pair for kicking about the house but nobody should ever consider actually leaving the house with them! The final straw was observing someone leaving the Hugo Boss shop wearing a pair and then see ing another one in a fairly respectable pub (OK...waxy's). The guys shouldn't even have been allowed into either of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo `81 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 To me guys in a pub in grey trackie bottoms is the equivalent to women in their "jammies" in the supermarket..... Ned City in the extreme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned City in the extreme! There was a lassie in the Chinese takeaway last night in her dressing gown. I thought maybe she lived upstairs or something but then got her order and jumped into a car. Ned City must be twinned with Newport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Really depends. If you're 21 and cutting about in a nice pair of grey Jack Wills or Hollister sweat pants that are still the same shape as the day they were bought = acceptable If you're a 45 year old man wearing a pair of washed out, baggy, shapeless grey joggers with dubious discolouring around the crotch and arse = unacceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindimoo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Neither is acceptable in public. How about when you're doing a home renovation and realise you haven't eaten for 12 hours and there is nowt in to eat? You and the other half discuss " it, let's jump down to Tesco (local, 3 mins drive away) and see what hot cooked chickens and ready made mash and veg they have."? Do we wait for each other to get changed into more socially acceptable clothes? Do we feck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Am I alone in not knowing what these grey tracky bottoms are? Neither is acceptable in public. Absolutely. How about when you're doing a home renovation and realise you haven't eaten for 12 hours and there is nowt in to eat? You and the other half discuss "###### it, let's jump down to Tesco (local, 3 mins drive away) and see what hot cooked chickens and ready made mash and veg they have."? Do we wait for each other to get changed into more socially acceptable clothes? Do we feck! Sorry, but tracksuit bottoms are only acceptable for children and people doing sporting activities.

I'd almost accept those type of exceptions when you are immersed in that type of work but I'd still probably get into a quick pair of jeans.

Ormond Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 More acceptable than wearing a pipers jacket or Glengarry to the football. Agreed. Never seen the appeal of wearing British army pish to the fitba'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Of course it could have been worse they could have had their hand down the front of them and then sniffed it when they withdrew it from down below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
