The Fleshpots of England
Maybe people have super-sized themselves during the last year or more probably, there has been a gradual expansion in girth over the past decade whilst I have been distracted by other things.
I am uncertain if people are really larger or whether fashion changes have meant that our bodies are more exposed as clothing becomes ever more skippy and close fitting. Whatever the reason, my son observes over a number of days. We are at the coast where holiday makers are prone to wear holiday clothes and swimsuits, very small ones. I notice him looking without comment. Eventually, after much thought he sees fit to share his opinion with me.
“Mom!”
“Yes dear?”
“Dah peoples in England………”
“Yes…….?”
“Dah peoples in England are………”
“Yes?”
“Dah peoples in England are very…..skin……skin……..skinny.”
I’m sure it was very welcome news to everyone within a five mile radius at 50 decibels.
Curiously the boys were not in the least fazed by the numerous topless sunbathers however my daughter, being in the pre-teen stage of delicacy, was thoroughly mortified.
If you enjoy caption competitions and photographs, you may wish to nip along to“DJ Kirkby” over at “Chez Aspie” and test your brain power.

Welcome back! I can just picture your daughter’s mortification. Sounds like the boys had a good time.

How very funny-one of my boys makes similar types of observations at times…also very loudly. Happy you are back-I was missing my usual coffee time reading! I hope that you had a wonderful time

Now what if he makes a companion comment in the US about the American girth!

My sons have been instructed not to make comments about “the American girth”, but sometimes they feel the need to whisper them to me.
Which might be okay if they could just learn how to whisper.

The fact that this post was tagged “nudity” and “prudity” has me laughing. Love the visual!
