Sleeveless clothes.
I mean, why?!?
Unless you are a shrimp, upper arms are better veiled. By sleeves.
And they're drafty.
And even if you want to waggle your bingo wings at people, and want to feel cold, they are only suitable for about 3 weeks a year. Ok, maybe 4 weeks this year.
Which decade are we talking about B? I remember having a drawer full of 'capped sleeve' t-shirts in the 80's.......
Any
All
Now and forever!
This year, apparently, 'sleeveless waistcoats' are 'in'.
Firstly, have you ever heard of a waistcoat with sleeves?
So that is just a load of trendy prepubescent fashionista blather.
Secondly, they are pushing this remarkable garment as 'an extra layer'. 'For warmth'.
Huh?
Warmth implies coverage. Implies sleeves. Implies something to cover the bum.
Ok, maybe my rant is more to do with the infantile fashion 'pusher' on TV, and less to do with the waistcoats themselves...
I'll shut up now.
You can all wear waistcoats if you like. Just don't pretend they are for warmth.
You need a VEST for that!!!
So thermals are in 101 then?
Oh. And which room would my newly acquired faux sheepskin gillet go? It's outrageously toasty but covers neither wings nor my seat.
Pedants like me like clarity.

Yup. You are right.
Especially when you factor in that vests tend to be sleeveless too. Certainly all my father's string vests were...
Perhaps my mouth frothing-dislike was less to do with the sleeveless clothing and more to do with the tv fashion presenter. When did they start recruiting from primary school? And lose all sense of personal style? And become more preoccupied with 'the runway' than how it looks on a human being, not a stick insect?
Also, I may be strange, but I ALWAYS feel the cold in my upper arms..
Ok, so I still seem to be in rant mode, but the sleeveless thing is less important.
Maybe I am just a grouch.
I'm ok with that.
I hate to mention it, but it's very much looking to me like days off aren't suiting your demeanour...........<<<<< in the absence of a devil emoticon.
I have three v neck sleeveless pullovers that I really like!
As a near wrinklie,bus pass next year, I have adopted several vests(not the string ones(eewwwww!) more for the summer than keeping warm.
I have fond memories of tank tops! Now they are a fashion statement! With huge flairs! Penny round collared shirts! Late 70s gone mad!
Can you please put them into room 101?
Ah, no, not sure about self service checkouts. They can be a pain, but if it means I avoid the surly checkout operator, who sneezes into her hands then carries on handling my food then they win for me. I can also avoid the gormless youth who literally chucks the food into the collecting area after scanning it, eggs become scambled. I know they have a lot to put up with from ignorant customers but checkout operators like that need a short sharp lesson in 101 ante-room.I'm so glad you're back.
And on such form!
Yes to both.
i would add to that drivers who fail to turn on their headlights in the rain, especially on the motorway. For idiots like that the lights should come on automatically when they use the windscreen wipers.Drivers who can't be bothered using their indicators...
P-A-R-T-I-C-U-L-A-R-L-Y at roundabouts.
Must try to stop one and ask...
"How long after we pass the driving test can we stop using our indicators".
