It's So Cold I'm Wearing My Salopettes!

Ski pants with a high waist and bib-and-braces would be just the thing.

OK, OK, it's not an English word but a French word of obscure and contested origin which has a contradictory resonance in German, but that's Europe for you. English adopted it about forty years ago, and even left its stamp by pluralising it for no better reason than 'pants' and 'trousers'. Typically vulgar of us anglophones!

It's all part of making the cross-Chunnel neighbours pay for their sins.
