Eyes right!!! by happypat

Eyes right!!!

A typically beautifully dressed farmer going to buy some lingerie for his wife!!!

Dirty wellies, holes in his pants & probably smells of cows!

In reality he is going to the bank, you can see cheque book in hand.

Nobody looks at him twice dressed like this in Garstang!

I don't say this in a derogatory way as we were once in that category although I would never let Harry walk about in the farm yard dressed like that never mind in town!!
Not that he would anyway!!

Three good things:
1. Harry managed to get a cancellation to have his ear syringed this afternoon after originally being given one in a weeks time!!
2. By chance met friends in Garstang so had a coffee with them in Booths. ( Garths parents)
3. More Wimbledon.
oo er quite a contrast. You'd never see that in Longton!

Oh imagine going into Booths in that state. The heads would turn!

@fueast Ha ha Alison ...to posh to wear wellies in Longton & I think he would even be tolerated in Booths too!!! Heads might turn though you're right!

@happypat Its not the wellies its the pants. Sagging doesn't even begin to describe them!
July 2nd, 2013  
@fueast Forgotten about the pants...they are the worst I agree...air holes!!!
July 2nd, 2013  
Great capture. Maybe he'll do the lingerie shop next?
July 2nd, 2013  
Too funny. Love your commentary. Hope Harry's ear feels better!

Love it! We can get away with wearing pretty much anything here but going to Aberdeen is another matter. Even Inverurie requires a bit of dressing up unless going to the recycling centre with garden stuff!!!

I do hope he never sees this photo - or even worse his wife sees it.
July 2nd, 2013  
First good laugh of the day for me!

I like to see people comfortable in their own skin (and worn out jeans ). Good for him! Nice find!

Oh such a shame it wasn't the lingerie shop - I can just imagine the assistants' faces. Adam had his ear syringed last week after getting water stuck in it in the pool and going completely deaf. He was amazed by the results and kept thanking the nurse over and over.

@judithg Bless him!! She would be chuffed with the job satisfaction!!
July 2nd, 2013  
The jeans would be trendy with the holes but not the dirt! The gum boots are really naughty to wear down town! I remember the farmers all getting dressed up to go to town, once a week! Hope the ear syringing worked - it generally doesn't with John. Hey, that word, syringe - why do we say shringe?
July 2nd, 2013  
Poor guy, he was in a rush...
July 2nd, 2013  
@maggiemae We say shringe too...odd but it has worked thank you maggiemae!!!

@anazad511 Ah you are a kind woman Ana....it didn't bother me one bit but was happy to get the ''look''!!
July 2nd, 2013  
super shot and narrative Pat. Glad to know that you and Harry had standards of dress to uphold :)
July 2nd, 2013  
@phil_howcroft He he Phil you have to keep your end up don't you!!! Thanks, just about to comment on yours ...has taken me ages to catch up tonight, at the latest now!!
July 2nd, 2013  
LOL! Love the outfit! That is quite acceptable dress in my part of the world :)
July 3rd, 2013  
LOL, quite a good capture

Awww - he's not that bad! I don't think anyone would look twice at him in London (at least, not in the bits where we hang out. They might in Chelsea or somewhere.)
July 3rd, 2013  
haha!! Love the contrast with the shop window. Great capture!
July 3rd, 2013  
Too, too funny - a great capture - well spotted!
July 3rd, 2013  
Fabulous capture, Pat. And I think it would have been super sweet if he'd gone into the lingerie shop to pick up a little something for the Mrs. ~ even in his work clothes. :) It's interesting how the man at the ATM is identically dressed from the waist up.

@peggysirk A badge of honour in Garstang!!! I thought it rather funny that there are only the men in the picture!!
July 4th, 2013  
Neat capture.
July 5th, 2013  
Great capture. Garstang sound like my kind of place. Live and let live.
July 5th, 2013  
You have an eye for these things and turn them into great street photography.
July 5th, 2013

July 6th, 2013
