I SPOTTED a lad skateboarding in the most revolting shorts I've ever seen - those huge, baggy things with the crotch hovering around the knees.

I can't see them being comfortable, apart from allowing the air to flow.

It must be like walking around in those awful tights that we women buy, then discover they are too short once they've been pulled up.

You know the ones, girls, when the gusset sinks down the thighs as you walk, tears and then rubs your legs to ribbons.

Not only that, they look disgusting too.
