Washington DC

I wear my pyjamas from the plane to the arrivals lounge, and get changed after having a shower. No point in getting changed before landing when I'm about to get changed again in 30 minutes.

LTN Phobia

I am a stuffy sort who cannot cope with the idea of being seen in pyjamas or any other sleeping attire by strangers, so I do not even change in flight. So the idea of myself wearing them landside, airside, or anywhere else public would horrify me. However, I don't mind/care if other people did. BA ones are not that pyjama like, so I probably won't even notice.

If anything, if I do notice the BA logo, I may think, "oh poor guy/girl, BA must have lost his/her bag. But 'lucky' them, BA must have given them an F sleeper suit instead of the 'BA lost my bag T-shirt'" rather than "slackers, walking around in sleep suit!".



As for people walking around bare-foot in Australia, I've definitely seen many, but after a while, I stopped noticing them. They became a normal sight.

I am not sure if they are locals or backpackers, but I wonder if they do not cut their feet if they are not doing it all the time and so have hardened skin.

Blimey. I thought such things only existed in school geography textbooks. Do they really use that name in Sydney?

halfcape

Actually halfcape is the style of house that we live in. And two halfcapes do not make a full cape because there would be two front doors and a full cape only has one front door. We can discuss 3/4 capes another time.

BA-Flyer

It's more commonly abbreviated to the CBD, but yes, it's a commonly used term in Australian cities.

Before I arrived in Sydney, the last time I head of a CBD was over 20 years ago in geography lessons!

As some Fters may be aware in China and some of the Worlds China towns it's quite common to see some old citizens wondering around in public in PJs. A habit picked up by some Cardiff winners who could not be arsed to dress that day and popped into Tescos to pick up some cigs ect ,Tesco final banned PJs wearers from their stores, This happened at the same time as the Pekking Games where the Chinese Goverment issued an advisory against wearing of PJs in public .So Cardiff was twined with Peking My F class collection of PJs are from LH (2 styles, 1 v neck scrubs style could easily be worn street side) LX rugby top passable ,TGs a bit on the loud side,But TK s are the best Playboy style 2tone satin with unsubtle First Class in gold embroidery true PJs. These I plan to wear street side one day ,perhaps in HKG for my up comming ComfortClass TK HKG IST LAX run

Yes. And here in Adelaide we even abbreviate it to CBD! That's the antipodes for you...

kered

I actually had "CBD" typed on my post, but went back & edited to the words. It's been quite a while since I was in SYD, so I wasn't trusting my memory, so thought it best to convey my meaning with words instead.

But it's nice to see that my grey matter, is still able to extract correct information from so long ago ^

PUCCI GALORE

How did you know that they were the Speedo brand - had a good look did we?

Re: Money - Royalty do not carry money as its vulgar.

I wear my F pyjama tops to Waitrose I do not wear the bottom half as I would look like something from Jeremy Kyle. I would not wear any of it to Tesco as I do not shop among the chavs unless I can avoid it. I wear a pair of red slacks and not the thong that you all assumed. Shame on you.

Footloose2

A barefoot lifestyle!
Natural, safe and healthy. Unusual for the western world but accepted as normal for much of the planet and not 'weird' at all.

You may recognise me if you are at T5 this evening! Come and say hello!

Footloose2

Barefoot for over 10 years including mountain hiking. I have natural hardened skin. Never had a serious injury. Barefooters look where they are going and walk differently (more naturally!)

Footloose2

Oops, time to put that one to bed.
My feet spread the same 'stuff' as other people's feet. I wash my feet more often than most people wash their shoes. It has been shown that most of the diseases effecting the feet are more common and more severe in shoe users than barefooters. Problematic infections such as athletes' foot are encouraged by the warm damp atmosphere inside shoes. Barefooters don't suffer from athletes' foot.
One of the reasons that i do not wear shoes is that I find them disgusting!
And no, my feet don't smell. It is the wearing of shoes that causes the infection that makes the smell

Sixth Freedom

I wore my F PJ top under a jacket in the CCR connecting to NCL because the terminal was so humid that by the time I reached the CCR my shirt was soaked.

As one never to stand by the conventions I say bah! To heck with them.

When I took my first F flights a few months ago I quite happily changed into my F PJs. And I would not worry about walking around the tarmac in F PJs.

However I always insist on wearing my shoes for take off.

Last year I spotted a guy in a First sleeper suit in the linen/towels department at John Lewis, Oxford Street. Full suit inc. top and trousers.

Clearly straight from the plane. Seemed like he was buying for a hotel on account of the bales of towels being bagged-up at the till.

On balance I was very impressed with such rock star behaviour!

LHR-HUB

I would guess that his bag was lost and he was using up his (£1000?) allowance from his travel insurance. Having bought a suit/shirt etc. Why not use the rest on stuff he needs for home, eg some new fluffy towels?
As nice as it is, I get £1200 for the first 24 hours if my bag's lost, then another £800 (I think) next day. I certainly don't need £2000 for 2 days!
