You _really_ don't want to see what I saw here (Salisbury) yesterday -
a group of middle-aged men, dressed in short red skirts, white socks
or stockings and so on, with fairly heavy makeup, doing a majorette
routine with pompons. I think (hope!) it was supposed to be a joke.
Certainly, a lot of other passers-by seemed to find it amusing. I'm
afraid I just found it gross. But then, I wouldn't have enjoyed it
even if the performers had been young girls: it's just not to my
taste.
