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.

the worst time for shorts was winter. I vividly remember having to try and walk through deep snow with my bare legs being absolutely freezing. We were allowed to wear long trousers to school and then get changed to shorts in the cloakroom. Our mums thought that wearing shorts in deep snow would toughen us up.
Every winter we had deep snow and frozen legs.
Oh yes we also got snow down our wellies and wet socks.
