Ah but you see the may will be in flower this year well before May imho.

I reckon within the next week. It's been so warm you see. Hence why it's OK to leave off yr vest

I see that link has a Whitby reference - I used to live there and don't recommend casting any clouts till August at the earliest!

here in london the may makes me sneeze and i have been for past fortnight. still got me vest on though.

white linen trousers are too napery for me. white jeans would be sure to have a disaster.

i'd like some red cropped skinnies - uniqlo look good but are coral in rl.

I live near Edinburgh - we say cloot and oot, and usually keep our semmits (vests) on all year round, just to be on the safe side!

KS - I know I look young for my age but I don't think I look like I am 10!!

May has already flowered here.... so you're alright.

AnyFucker · 15/04/2009 14:10

only when there is no "R" in the month....

so, May, June, July and August are acceptable

white jeans? yuk

Flipflops - I say any time now if the weather is OK-ish. I like getting the feet out a.s.a.p to be honest. Let 'em breathe . Agree - must be pedicured. No cracked heels or claw-like toenails. I've kept my boots on the last few weeks even in decent weather as haven't had time to sort my feet out and don'ty wnat to inflict Hobbit toe on the rest of ther world

White jeans are minging, sorry. Unless you are a size 8 with a tiny, pert bottom. Everyone else just looks like a hippo in them. Even Liz Hurley looks about 3 sizes bigger than she is in them.

White linen trousers...hmmm...very summery look. Only on a hot day.
