Default Having trouble with your pants? Ozzies raise the bar

Well Jeremy Paxman of the BBC is and has written a letter of complaint to the boss of Marks & Spencer (M&S sells four times as much underwear as its nearest competitor in the UK).

He says that M & S briefs no longer offer adequate support where it matters. "Like very large numbers of men in this country I have always bought my socks and pants at Marks & Sparks" Paxman said. "I have noticed that something very troubling has happened. There is no other way to put this. Their pants no longer provide adequate support. When I have discussed this with friends and aquaintances it has revealed widespread gusset anxiety."

Now I'm starting to get worried as I don't have any trouble with M&S pants. Do you think Paxman is bragging?

No not really Graham. He isn't bragging. He is stating personal reality. I'd say? That age and gravity are realizations that he has yet to address or accept.

We call it "furniture disease."

When your chest falls into your drawers. And when the jewels sag and dangle from your drawers? To your sock drawer.

it's not just M&S. The wife bought me some from Next. Slack at the top and tight at the bottom.

I can now reach those difficult to find high notes. :shock:

Well I reckon he is right I have always bought Y fronts from M&S but the last ones I had at Christmas are decidedly baggy. I do like the family jewels to be comfortable.

China has a nearly unlimited supply of inexpensive labor, a ready market for their products, and a big profit from the West.

As long as they have access to our markets and undercut our labor costs we will clamor to buy...inferior or not.
