Probably there to scare the pants off any would be burglars :o I've heard of folk putting size 12 boots :o on show in the front porch to scare off burglars, probs works too ;D

When I first moved to Lincoln, my wife took me on a guided tour of the City in an open-topped bus. It stops outside the obvious points of interest (Castle, Cathedral etc) and one stop is to show you part of the old Roman wall which is in the garden of a private house.
On the day in question, there was (you've guessed it) a humongous pair of pants on the washing line in said garden.
Years later we were at  a wedding and got into conversation with one of my wife's colleagues about the open-top bus. "Oh, I see that a lot" she said "It stops outside my house several times a day"
We just gave each other a knowing look!

Secondly I forgot to sow them :o

EJ says that they bolted cos they were sown at the wrong time, so you can have your stirfries in the autumn (and I've had to have mine tonight - loads of it - wind's picking up again, this part of the country ;))

Not just the ladies that wear big pants! One of my favourite residents  asked me where he could buy some new summer drawers, as M and S have gone trendy, and our local drapers have closed. Apparently the ones that need replacing are waist to knee, airtex with room to move!!!  What a picture :) :)
