O.K. as a person who is forever seeking to further my knowledge I hope a forum member can identify themselves with the question I'm going to ask and can give me some answers.
Now we have all seen the following on site or at various places, seaside resorts etc.
At a site rececently it was sheeting it down with rain when a new arrival pitched opposite us. Out of the car got macho man! shorts, polo shirt and trainers and in spite of the deluge he proceeded to set up. After about 10 minutes something must have dawned on him, he was getting wet, so he then put on a short raincoat which never even covered his aspidestra and a baseball cap to cover his bald pate. He never did the coat up so his rather large paunch was still catching the worse of the rain.
That evening he, his wife and a couple of their friends went for a walk. It now gladly had stopped raining but the temperature was 4c. His wife and friends were dressed accordingly, trousers, boots and anoraks. Macho man? still in his polo shirt, trainers and shorts. It was spot the odd one out, the emphasis being on odd hehheh!
O.K. he isn't the only one, who for some reason when going away throw their common sense away too, theres lots, we have all seen them. They are on holiday so have a need to advertise the fact regardless of our inclement weather.
Can any forum member identify themselves with the kind of person I've just described and enlighten me as to why you do it, please.
I have to add its a man thing, women never do it. YEAH YEAH I can hear Maureen, Wendy, Lisa etc. extolling how women are more sensible than men so :OP
