No, I disagree. It's far, far worse.


Oh OK, I agree. And I was buying for my friends daughter and son ... why do A&F split some girls clothes in the basement and others on the second floor? I was up and down those stairs in the gloom and the heat, with the booming music, the crowds. Ugh v( .

Hollister is a brand invented by A&F in 2000. But they also 'invented' the history. It's named after a conceptional(sic) character who graduated from Yale in 1915. The Brand was 'established in 1922'. But only in the 'conceptional' world. God knows what a Psychiatrist would do to the Hollister guys....

At LGW on Weds morning I saw a lady (prob early 20's) walking through the terminal in a bright pink all in one zip up suit which could only be described as a baby grow for adults - it actually had feet!

Provided it's actually made of cotton, and not 'previously enjoyed'... It's still a step forward

Fact #1. I wear what I want. I like my clothes and I like my comfort. Depending on the time of year and the season I am flying into (autumn/spring, summer/winter) I wear, or bring as carry-on clothes appropriate to my destination be it home or away. Jeans or track suits bottoms are fine as far as I'm concerned and are adaptable.

Fact #2. Virgin flies long haul. When you get off the flight you are not going straight to a wedding, a dinner dance or a soirée at Buckingham Palace. If you are then it's bad planning on your part. Therefore you dress for comfort not style. You're on a plane, not a catwalk!

Fact #3. You may be going straight to a meeting if you are on a red-eye or may have come to the airport straight from a meeting, in which case formal attire is acceptable and indeed tolerated. Just feel sorry for those poor sods who are possibly travelling week in and week out, who rarely see their own bed, who live out of a suitcase, who know the room service menu in the hotel they are staying more than their own Chinese takeaway and in fact to experience the latter is akin to a gourmet banquet and when they get home have to ask their children their names!!

Fact #4. If I can tolerate a football jersey as I had to do when my nephew wore one on a flight in UC to JNB, so can you. Build a bridge and get over it. I did!

Fact #5. What is not acceptable is what I viewed (or rather what I would rather not have viewed) is on a flight to JNB in Y when a middle-aged guy in the departure lounge sat with one leg resting at right angles on the other leg wearing the skimpiest cut-off shorts I have ever seen to the extent that his liathroídí* were exposed! :0 :0 :0
