Dress to impress

[Farmer 83563]

On my rare visit to the supermarket I have seen the police in uniform buying stuff and more than one onesie or fleece pyjama set.
Nae my taste but hey ho. Welcome to slobby UK.

Slobby or snobby?!

 

[Barleymow]

Often leave my wellies outside the local pub ,it's only 200 yards away no point getting changed for a swift pint or 3

 

[Cheesehead]

I usually take my boots off at the door of the shop

so do i

Your area must be different to here, if I did that they'd be nicked within a minute even if covered in muck if the socks were with them they'd be left stuck up on bricks.

Must have had a different mother to mine if I did that mine would have brought some pigs or maggots just to feed me to them. The only time I can get away even now and when getting parts for a machine is either during lambing, haymaking or straw carting then and only then can I get away with work clothes.

Remember doing the Market Drayton red market on a monday night , geezer next to me had flies buzzing in and out of his ears . ffs

I wonder who that was.... can think of a couple of candidates...

 

[steveR]

trouble is you then leave a trail of straw bits everywhere!

Seen Herself do that at the local Off Licence popping in for milk and a bar of choccy!!

 

[steveR]

I go in in whatever im wearing. If they dont want me there they can ask me to leave

Same here. Will wash me boots first though...

Was popping into Morrisons in Welly and Herself threw a wobbly at me wearing overalls. Hell, they were (pretty) clean and not cleansing or blood on 'em!

So I just grabbed a sarnie out of teh quick bites section, and sat in the truck

could have been a dirty protest against the supermarket for ripping him off when comparing his ex farm price to their shelf price

 

[Cheesehead]

I would however never leave the house wearing pyjamas

The only time I can remember doing that was during lamb about 5 to 10 years ago, didn't realise until I went to go up for lunch about 2, dad didn't say a think did the same thing a week latter but put a spare trousers and jumper in the truck just in case.

 

[Bald Rick]

Even my wife makes me take my trousers off at the door

It’s the only time I would wear pyjamas, pull you wellies and leggings over them, lamb a ewe and back to bed

I would try not to be too ‘mucky’ or smelly when going into a shop, but I’d have no qualms about wearing my work clothes. I work hard, and my money is as good as the next persons.

 

[toquark]

I know a farmer who’s never seen out without his cut off denim shorts and his suit jacket.

 

[Sid]

Quick run around my local supermarket this afternoon. Chap in there wearing red overalls covered in sh1t. Filthy wellington boots and to top it off a dear stalker hat….he was one of our local farmers. Is this reasonable behaviour, walking around in public like a mental patient? I know it’s his job, but I doubt a surgeon would walk around in blood splattered scrubs would he. I’m not suggesting he showers and wears a suit but he could have taken his overalls off and slipped a pair of boots/trainers on his feet.

Local guy thrown out of the supermarket for having mucky boots and overalls on.

And rightly so!

It's a food establishment have some respect. Ditch the overalls and leave the wellies by the door.
Same goes for takeaway!

One of my fairly close neighbours goes to the pub on Sunday lunchtime in immaculate,clean overalls.He puts them over his grubby work clothes to go for a drink ! He said to me "I only have to take them off when I go back to work after lunch !"

 

[VIP]

Farmers that used to go to the Cereals event in a nice pair of freshly laundered overalls……I used to laugh my mustard cords off!

Only thing was it was morning, didn't realised till lunch, neighbours who were usually out were home in their garden and I only had my coat over the top.

When we moved house a few years ago we decided it was time for a fresh mattress last minute, me and the wife while moving jumped in the pickup and cattle trailer and flew to the bed shop, we were wearing mucky wellies so we left them outside. The man in the shop asked where are you shoes? Outside I said, he looked confused as I pulled out a mucky envelope bursting with cash to pay for it. anyway as he helped me carry it out the shop I easily slipped my wellies on while holding the mattress while my wife opened the door on the trailer and we threw it in, we looked like proper yocals

Living on wax thinking it was a honey comb in his lug hole perhaps?

 

[melted welly]

We went on holiday one year when I was a teenager, flying out of Manchester I think.

Dad had been doing something with cattle the day before, plus possibly on the morning of travel and was wearing his same dealers, cords and Barbour jacket (fully packed for the week with couple pairs of pants and a toothbrush in the pockets).

It was like he had activated a forcefield, the saying goes no man is an island, well he was that day, no one went within about 8ft of him, including his wife and kids
