Do you shop in bathing costumes? Back in the UK Tesco are cracking down on shoppers in pyjamas

I thought this was going to be a thread about WAGs & Chelsea yummy mummies etc...... even if I did to to Tescos in my pjs (which I never have) I'd put something over the top. Anyone ever gone in just nightwear????

I don't wear anything to bed so would be a little chilly doing my shopping like that

they make you cover up in Mercadona if you're wearing a swimsuit - they'll even lend you a t-shirt

why would anyone want to go shopping in their pjs

mind you, I did used to see a mum dropping her kids at school in pjs - on foot

(not the kids in pjs - her)

Maybe,but if I get to hear reports of baby-doll nighties and silk negligees at my local store I could just be inclined to rearrange my shopping hours....

You´ve been in Spain a long time. You must have seen the ladies in the supermarket wearing their dressing gowns and slippers

It was before the rain started, I would never wear my Ugg boots in the rain, infact it was the first time they've been worn outside the house, that's how sick I was feeling!

you're making me think now..................

oh god yeah, I remember now - the grannies in masymas at 9.15 am to get their bread for brekky


haven't seen it for ages though - but then I don't go shopping that early anymore

what about the knickers hanging out of the ground floor window to dry in the backstreets - just a bit of washing line tied on the rejas - with tatty grey knickers pegged on


I suppose they wouldn't get nicked though...........

Watch it! We're not all like that in Australia, although we do tend to walk around barefoot a lot in Summer!
