Not happy at just snapping little old ladies in their dressing gowns (see other thread) I couldn´t resist taking these photos.

All taken on a very cold winter´s day in February - I bet you can´t guess what nationality they are!

And if I have accidentally caught any of you from this forum - SHAME ON YOU!.

Photo 1 - My particular favourite. His and Hers matching windcheaters.

Photo 2 - A very fetching pair of trousers. (Take note of the appropriately dressed Spanish lady in the background.)

Photo 3 - What the hell??



Mods - I made sure you can´t see any of the faces...please can it stay??

Is that Chipiona beach I detect there, Keith??

The names and places shall remain anonymous to protect the innocent.

Well, actually they are as guilty as hell for deliberately choosing those items of clothing, but nonetheless I shalln´t say where I took the snaps!

featherbum

hahaha keith, you are making me laugh so much!

cant belive you went taking pictures of people in dodgy outfits!!
yeah lets hope they are not in this forum haha!!

no offence but in san sebastian, where i am from, you can always spot the foreigner from miles (tend to have white socks pulled right up, with sandals and very very very pink skin)
.... and i have never seen anyone with PJ's on out back in SS... ever!!.... so that other thread was rather amusing!!!

Perhaps the guy with the shorts on is a retired Postman!!!

Now come on Keith what's very cold? - remember we've got tempratures of -5 here in the UK at the moment!

The blydi big lighthouse in the background gives it away a bit

ciao1966

Yeah but we have central heating and houses built to keep the heat in ..not out!

I hate Spain in the winter ..never again!

Fortaleza

Oohhhhh! Featherbum!! (not an expression I ever imagined myself ever saying!!)

I was in San Sebastian in August 2002. The weather was having a bit of a laugh at our expense. The temperature was officially 18ºC (nippy for August) and there was quite an insistent 'breeze' making feel a lot chillier. The beach was PACKED!!!! There were people in the sea FFS!!!! Thinking that these were obviously foreigners, me & Mrs F ventured down only to discover that they were mainly Spanish!!!! We were there with our jeans, jumpers and coats whilst these masochists were in their bikinis and shorts!!!!!

Aw now...to be fair!!! Maybe they hadn't packed warmer clothing expecting it to be warm in Spain and were doing the best they could to keep warm (thankfully you didn't see what I was wearing when I was over there a couple of weeks ago )

ciao1966

Too many Tv progs / Crazy Estate Agents pretend that Spain has an all year summer!

I remember it snowing on me in Denia, Costa Blanca 1999 ..I hid under my quilt for a couple of days after that!

But how does that excuse Mr and Mrs matching windcheaters and the guy with the orange trousers?

I mean, what exactly was going through their heads when they were in the shops and thought to themselves "Mmmm, yes, that would look lovely on me" and actually handed over perfectly good hard earnt money in exchange for the dodgy clobber?

Fortaleza

Anyway Keith. I think your radar's off. Much as I would like them to be sad pathetic Brits, I've a feeling they are Germans or Dutch.

Lionda

I am usually warm blooded and wear shorts and sandals for as long as possible here in England so I expect to be able to wear them for longer in Spain. However.....I have 2 x 13.5 tog duvets and 3 hot water bottles to take with us when we move just in case hubby isn't enough to keep me warm at night

Ok, confession time. I did hear the ladies in the third photo gabbling in some language other than English. But don´t spoil the fun!
