A Memory

Posted by colinmcallister on 21/5/2026, 3:56 am

even at aged 80 plus I still have memories from long ago.One example is when I was in a local store with a male mannequin dressed up in a suit, I thought back to as a 16 year old getting my first wage I decided to get a tialer made suit from a store in Jarrow.Getting all measured the bloke was measuring my inside leg and asked Sir on which side are you dressed? I looked at him asking what he meant, he then said "on which side does your Willy hang..I those days mens undies were shorts so you had to be "dressed on one side or the other..

Suffice to say she hated that suit.
