It looks like a good time.
David, you know you're not allowed to look at those websites when you're working, my friend.
But yes.
i think you guys over there would call it a pantless subway ride here in the uk it's called a trouserless tube ride my friend in fact weirdly this tradition which is one year where everybody meets up and it's organized i guess online and they take their trousers off now there are rules you can't wear thongs or little tiny underwear or anything so sexually provocative it has to be sort of you know underwear full-on underwear like imagine bridget jones big ugly granny pants
or like wire fronts and stuff, and you board the underground like everything is normal.
Just literally, you just go on your day with no trousers on.
Absolutely.
There is something innately British about a middle class, bald white man with a trouser suit without the trousers.
So a full on shirt, tie, blazer, leather briefcase, financial times, but just with no trousers.
It's something so beautiful, so British.
It happens every year.
Weirdly, this whole thing started in New York.
lovingly it was organized by the stiff upper lip society originally but they uh they sort of stopped getting sort of participating to it about 2023 about three years ago um and they said oh it's run its course it's something that they've stopped doing so one of their own members one of the peoples who was a trouserless decided to continue it so yeah and i think it was like a a
various cities used to have it.
I know New York had it and maybe other sort of large cities had it, but London has kind of kept it going.
It's like they've kept sort of the Zoom going.
You know, we still want to use MySpace.
I think the hygiene thing is a big one because it happens on a Sunday where most people are taking their children down to London to see like museums and like funfairs and shopping.
I do think it's quite odd.
And I think it's more of a of a giggle, a titter rather than titillation.
