I Wear Short Trousers

I wear shorts whenever it's warm enough. This year that was between around April and Early October
As boy growing up I wore shorts until age 14. They were compulsory at school until age 12 but my mum kept me in them until 14. Some boys were kept in shorts until 16.
Parents often punished boys by putting them back in shorts when they were naughty.

Hi Mazza
Like you I wear shorts whenever it is possible. One of my biggest regrets is my parents were liberal and I was one of the first boys to wear long trousers in my class. I really hated that first winter in longs November to March. I was also last boy in my class to stop wearing shorts in the summer. Shorts were never compulsory at school but no wore them beyond 11. The last time I was made to wear shorts a was 12. I knew only one boy who wore older than me.

I don't think being put back in short trousers as a punishment would had worked on me as I always preferred shorts.
