Look at my fucking red trousers!

YouGov poll

2013-08-01T14:22:00.000+01:00

Today's Telegraph publishes the results of a YouGov poll on red trousers here.

And the Guardian's response is here (written by soi-disant "English Socialite" Henry Conway).

I haven't updated the blog for six months - mainly through good old-fashioned laziness, but perhaps also because I see fewer RTs on the streets these days. Perhaps it has had an effect...

But if the price of freedom (from red trousers) is eternal vigilance, I really ought to keep posting. I'll have a trawl through the inbox in the next few days.

Thanks again for all submissions, and apologies to anyone whose repeated pleas to remove the drunkenly submitted photo of their brother-in-law have so far gone unread.

In certain company, RTs just don't quite cut it...

I tend to avoid posed group shots, but an exception can be made for this collection. Sandhurst, I'm told...

Are we looking at a genuine example of that much misapplied term, Trustafarian?

Or is it just a "comedy" wig?

Thank you to Tom for this one (which he sent in last June... continued apologies for being slow.)

It must be a lovely thing for a Terracotta Warrior to find himself standing next to a man in two shades of pink...

In Canada, where this photo was taken, the police come down hard on socially divisive leg wear.

We wouldn't want it to get disproportionate of course, but something along these lines on the Kings Road from time to time might not be a bad idea...

This could be a print advert from the '70s - in the days when The Ultimate Man was fifty years old, borderline alcoholic, and didn't smile unnecessarily.

Fish in a barrel perhaps, but hey. Not a million miles away from this guy.

In case you were wondering what sort of music a man dressed like this might produce, see here.

Combining RTs with a red tank top and a two-tone shirt (the "charlatan shirt" as I believe it's sometimes called) is definitely a first for LAMFRT.

He's obviously foreign, but I think it still counts.

Forget Oxford and Cambridge, or anywhere else for that matter: students of the Royal Agricultural College seem to be the ruddiest trousered collection of people in the country by a mile.

You don't have to be posh to do the blue/red thing it seems.

Full marks to the sender, Tim, for bravery here.
