The state of the nation’s trousers

Dunno. I just dunno. Sitting on an overcrowded train to Manchester and this kid stood up in front of me with a bag of Christmas presents to get off in the bovine hinterland of Hereford. He goes to pull up his kegs and it dawned on me that the latest craze of skinny chicken legs jeans is fuelled by the deliberate purchase of garments with insanely short inside legs. I mean, how is this allowed to to go on?! There is a good 3 or four inches of material missing from the kids trousers. Doesn’t his mother want value for money?
He pulled them up as far as he could but still walked off with his backside on display albeit for his black boxers. The less that the youth’s undergarments are available for public critique the better I reckon…
