Got accused of being 'French' wearing SJC 'Gear' inc Rust Polo at a 'Biker' event today..thanks Simon :-)

[SJC]

French?!

[Bn1966]

Yep!!! French!!! Go figure :-) Hopefully not an onion seller!!!! 'French Resistance' would be a compliment. Mind..the 'Bikers' who passed comment had nothing to 'shout about' in their stereotyped 'denim & leather' 'Get Up' (not that can't be well done..but they didn't).

Just as well I wasn't sat on my Vespa eh? :-)

And for some strange reason, people thought I was a Texan!

Here's the yellow SJC polo:

Try a stiff upper lip instead of a cowboy hat next time if you want them to recognize you as Englishman.

Must be brutal there right now. I was at a seminar in Las Vegas in August a few years ago. Arrived on Thursday evening and left before noon on Monday. Monday was the first day I left the safety of the air condition and ventured outside. 42°C in the shadow was just too much for me. Beats me how those people could sit at the pool directly in the midday sun getting pissed with cocktails.

[Sean Longden]

Stiff upper lip! Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. I don't, I hide in the shadows, walk the long way so that I can stay in the shade. But that isn't always possible in the desert, there's nowhere to hide. The hottest I experienced was 113degrees F (45C), most  days were about 42/44C.

Here's the burgundy SJC polo in the appropriately named 'Valley of Fire' state park:


Out in the desert I had no choice but to release my inner cowboy:

You wore jeans and a jacket in that heat? That perfectly qualifies as a Mad Dog, don't you agree?

I'm sweating just watching Sean wearing that! I would have thought he had packed everything linen

[Sean Longden]

You try wearing white or cream linen bags when out in the dust of the desert - especially when scrambling over red rocks! They would turn pink in seconds! As for the jacket, I didn't have anything else with long sleeves (apart from a cream linen jacket) and didn't want either my jacket or my arms to end up pink.

P.S. I won't be wearing the hat back in England.

[SJC]

You stayed in a cave?

Best place for me
