Please dress appropriately for your age

jeremyrundle

This WILL upset people.

At 50 plus, thinning on top and overweight I dress so as not to scare people, but boy has summer arrived, not only are we forced to listen to the morons in old bangers with loud cheap stereos, but the 1960s bunch have emerged.

The women who still think they can wear sunglasses "up" on their heads to look "cool" and dress as they did before their looks gave way to wrinkles that poly filler couldn't help and chests that are lower than a basset dogs ears .

As for medallion man, with his fading tattoos that looked terrible even before they faded to muddy browns and blacks (or is that just years of smoking and no sun cream ), new trainers and white sports socks!, and beer gut over his five sizes too small shorts, PLEASE, go in doors and especially don't ride a bike.

Keep up the good work JR

That's a warm feel good kind of post

Nice

Certainly hasn't upset me. But then again, I'm only 32, slim, fit healthy and can still get away with looking cool. So, all good here. 8)

At 55+ I wear lycra to frighten young schoolgirls :twisted:

Until all fat and old people are forced to wear the burka and long, black loosely-fitting robes, I advise dressing appropriately for the temperature.

As much as I may agree with the op. You have to let people have the freedom to be and wear what that want to.

It may also be a more boring world if the local high street didn't have these people parading up and down. My local tesco as a couple who shop on a Saturday morning in their 70's. He looks like he fell into a bottle of hair dye and she is dressed like a 30 something. All entertaining and add colour to life.

The problem is J R, when people keep checking with you that they are 'presentable', there will be no time for you to ride.

Relax, they are not worth it.

Why does this title remind me of "flight of the Conchords"?

"be more constructive with your feedback please"

about 1.28 in - but the whole thing is worth watching....

You do sometimes get to hear a good choon coming out of old bangers... sometimes! :P

Silver solidarity! Damn youngsters coming along and telling us what appropriate clothes we should be wearing!

If you're young enough to worry what people think of your clothes then dress appropriately otherwise wear what you want. Seriously, WGAF?

I'm 53, hair going grey and perhaps receding a bit, but I'm slimmer and fitter than I've ever been and look awesome.
And I'll wear what I ruddy well like.

Feck it, what would we have to laugh at if there weren't bloaters desperately trying to burn off some calories on a badly set up bike that makes them look fat and stupid.

Sounds like the height of fashion round your way. 50+ must be pretty young by Tavi standards :P

Another Jeremy classic.

Too old for this

Jeremy must have too much time on his hands if he's worrying about what everyone else is doing, some of us on the other hand have to graft and so don't give a monkeys.
live and let live i say unless youre in my way.

I'm liking the sound of this FGSS place you speak of. Jeremy is a complete bell-end.

graham.

Just as an aside. What is it with "Jeremys" that seem to attract such widespread derision?

We have:-
Clarkson
Paxman
Kyle
Beedle (Dead but still counts.)
And now. Rundle

Just a thought. Graham.

Please remember I am not the ONLY Jeremy in the country and don't even know what a FGSS is.

However I do admit that I am an HONEST outspoken Sagittarian self opinionated MCP.

And what by the way has B ritish R ail to do with it!, thought they had gone :twisted:

I guess your not after this years Mr Congeniality award JR - although for those of our age JR seems fitting somehow, you know, know your always right and hang everyone elses feelings.......

Mid 40's, wear baggies as they make me look good, but I'll wear Lycra if you tell me where to find you!

As I work on a Uni campus I'm all for more of the young ladies wearing (less) clothing appropriate to their age.

There's too much misery in the world. If wearing something makes someone happy let them wear it.

raymondo60

My 58 year old mate wears Lycra - he's a big chap too - he describes it as 'Trying to squeeze toothpaste back into the tube' - nice image!

On the contrary, if your happy to look daft, a bike is the perfect place to be
