118 shorts = success?

The fabulously successful advertising campaign of 118 and their burgeoning portfolio of products has made me think.

The main two moustachioed protagonists wear thigh hugging and leg liberating shorts ( popularised in 1982)

Could the adoption of such liberating leg embracing sportswear be the missing link for our 'last push' ( no Third Reich reference intended)

The male population of Britain is suffering an epidemic of stupidity. I see cases all the time. When it was sunny but cold earlier this month afflicted brain dead victims were walking round in flip flops and shorts, often accompanied with a hoodie because it was cold. It would be better if they were put out of their misery humanely. The average IQ of the nation would rise significantly.

Bit snobby. Shorts aren't solely warm weather apparel. I wear shorts all year round, even for work. I own my own business and I'm pretty sure I've an above average IQ.

Perhaps you just have shiiit legs?

QED Champers. You are just the sort of person I was on about. May I suggest you can increase your business profitability by wearing long trousers and turning down the heating. It also reduces your carbon footprint so you would be doing the public a favour both envirinmentally and aesthetically.

Doesn't affect my profitability one bit, as there's no "what are you wearing?" question in any of the tenders I put together. I work hard and spend plenty of time up and down ladders, and got sick of my legs sweating under pants, so I switched to shorts. Nothing like the feeling of the cold January air on your legs. Just makes me miss playing Sunday League

I don't know if you ever noticed Champers but when you go to say, Marks and Spencers, they have Bermuda shorts. I don't recall ever seeing any Alaska shorts. Maybe there is a reason for this.

I don't recall Hillary and Tenzing reaching the top of Everest in Everlast boxers. I don't see the Innuit or Sami people of the Arctic regions flashing their knees. I don't recall any seeing anybody in shorts in winter until about 10 years ago when it suddenly became a fashion statement for those with lack of self awareness. The timing with the fashion for tattoos on the calves seems too coincidental.

I wish it would stop as it no doubt will, except for a few diehards. Not many men with pony tails now, except in films on Xhamsters. I am fed up of rolling my eyes at idiots.

What about those certain types,who sport tailored shorts,shirt ( often a pastel colour) and tie,a pony tail and leg inkage?

Almost typically a 'media type'
