They looked perfectly ordinary, really. It was just the name that set me off!

Perhaps durhamjen could give us some insight?

merlot no, it was a website called Devon Work wear, I try to use local suppliers where possible as I hope that supporting local businesses helps to keep them going, and perhaps keep people in employment. Plus of course it can be handy if you need to meet them for whatever reason.

Years ago my father had a pair of action trousers.

Of course, there were a few jokes!

I think Mr and Mrs P's artistic talents (remember the tea towel) could be used to make amusing suggestions on how these garments could look. They could even end up on the company walls.

Were you on the Alexandra Overalls website, phoenix?

I only ask because it's my first name and has caused many a merry chuckle in days of yore.

Please describe them!

Not if you've worked in the hospitality industry.

But I keep remembering it and giggling!

Today my Boss asked me to look into costs for new sets of polo shirts, sweatshirts etc with the company log on as many of the staff need some new kit.

Trawling through some work wear websites there are various styles of trousers available, cargo pants, combat trousers, something called "action trousers" (I did wonder if they were sort of automatic ones, think Wallace & Grommet in "The Wrong Trousers") but then I saw a listing for "hospitality trousers" and I'm sorry to say I quite disgraced myself blush grin

Please tell me it's not only me!
