Sir, – Des Doris wonders (Letters, August 15th) if his wearing of short pants for five consecutive months is a record. It is not.
As a resident of south Co Dublin, he should well know that short pants have been de rigueur for Leinster rugby supporters for years. In fact the Leinster rugby supporter has been known to bask in sub-zero temperatures, howling winds and arctic blizzards in flip-flops, fake tanned legs and, of course, short pants. – Yours, etc,
