wellies!

listowelman

hiya - was coming home from work this evening and there was a lady wearing wellies which were a bit muddy and she was doing her shopping in tesco - just thought i would ask the audience what people thought - was her behaviour reprehensible???

Its kind of no different than a labourer doing their shopping in work clothes. Well if she worked in her wellies on a farm or something.

I was going to post something similar.
I would never wear wellies, boots and chaps above everything else. Unless you heard cattle all day wellies are just wrong.

I'm going to post here to try and stop the anti-welly bias before it gets started. Unless the wellies were caked in sh1te and she was trailing it around the floor then there is absolutely no problem with it. Loads of people wear wellies when there doing little bits of shopping they have to do. Its no different than a builder or a labourer or a guard or an office worker going into a shop if they have to pop in and do a bit of shopping there not going to change out of their work clothes.

Since when did we become afraid of a bit of muck Christ but sure wasn't i raised on the stuff. I remember when i was a young lad you used to get auld lads going into mass in them and back home ya still get the odd fella going into the oub with them on.

IMO wearing pyjamas is much worse as there is no excuse to wear pyjamas outside of the house and it shows how utterly lazy people are.

Poll?
Mark me down for giving it wellie.

A Listowel man complaining about seeing wellies! You're in KERRY!

Exactly. God bless the farmers that go into shops in wellies smelling like ****. They're a dying breed.

Nothing wrong with wellies, no matter where you live, they are just footwear! Of course there will be a huge rise in sales as soon as the festival season (<snip> Do not mention that festival again, electric picnic etc ) opens, no problem for the urbanistes to wear wellies then! Knock em for 10 months of the year and then fight for them for 2 months in the summer, you guys are so fickle!:)

Car? CAR?

They drive no car for no man. Massey all the way...

What colour wellies?

Nothing wrong with wearing wellies.

Tracksuits, now that's an entirely different issue...

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Tracksuits with wellies...?

galah

Wrong. Just wrong.
For some many reasons, and at so many levels...

D'ya not hear about the new wellies they're bringing out from Nike. "Just Dig It".

Yay wellies!

You might not have noticed, but it rains a lot here.

Why the hell is this a big deal I see women wear wellies all the time around Tralee.One case there was puddles after a wet night and a women had a navy pair she just got fresh from a shop.And when it is raining and when girls don't have wellies they wear the closet subsitute well thats just what one of them told me lol.Personally I don't really care for wellies myself all I use them is for down at the farm or maybe a game of basketball in the backyard on a day that has been wet.

Wellies have been making their way back into high fashion for ages now. Obviously certain AH fashion plebs would not be aware of this but it won't be long now til they move into the mainstream and create a bit of a (muddy) splash.

Pffffuft!

:-p

A lady that visited my house last year had a fetish for wellies. She asked me to wear some, also to google pictures of men in wellies.
