Totally agree. I wish we could get back to the days when (at least in Britain and much of Europe) boys didn't graduate to long trousers until they were at least 14, and it was an adolescent rite of passage. I suppose the fashion of putting young boys in long trousers or jeans drifted in from the US. If long trousers must be worn, then they should be as they were in the 1970s - you know, the sort of jeans or trousers that were so tight that one could tell what religion the boy was. I wouldn't mind a return to medieval hosiery. All boys should be completely nude for swimming and athletics, obviously. |
