Rules are rules. In Japan the climbing season for Mount Fuji is 1st July until 14th September.
In Britain such proscriptive rules seldom apply except in the matter of killing birds, fish and mammals and wearing grey tail coats. They may only be worn between Ascot and Goodwood; this year, 15th June – 11th July. This also defines an English summer, although be aware there is a risk temperatures and rainfall may go down and up, respectively.
In Bermuda there’s a big knees-up on a Friday at the end of May. It marks the day when Bermuda shorts and knobbly knees may be sported as business attire; 28th May this year. I expect you’d like to know why the captains of Bermuda industry swagger around in footer bags when the rest of us don linen suits. Nevertheless I will enlighten you.
Shorts were an item in British troops’ uniform when they were stationed anywhere south of the Alps. Bermuda adopted them in World War II when material for longer trousers was scarce, although there seemed to be enough wool to fill up the gap between knee and footwear with socks, suspended by, natch, suspenders. I don’t wear shorts. Men of my age should conceal their spindly, pasty legs.
The only thing missing from this video is Ferris Bueller.
