YouGov poll

Today's Telegraph publishes the results of a YouGov poll on red trousers here. 

And the Guardian's response is here (written by soi-disant "English Socialite" Henry Conway). 

I haven't updated the blog for six months - mainly through good old-fashioned laziness, but perhaps also because I see fewer RTs on the streets these days. Perhaps it has had an effect... 

But if the price of freedom (from red trousers) is eternal vigilance, I really ought to keep posting. I'll have a trawl through the inbox in the next few days. 

Thanks again for all submissions, and apologies to anyone whose repeated pleas to remove the drunkenly submitted photo of their brother-in-law have so far gone unread. 

Confused at Clapham Junction

Outplayed

In certain company, RTs just don't quite cut it...

Two dozen men

I tend to avoid posed group shots, but an exception can be made for this collection. Sandhurst, I'm told...

Rasta at the Epsom Derby

Are we looking at a genuine example of that much misapplied term, Trustafarian?

Or is it just a "comedy" wig?

Thank you to Tom for this one (which he sent in last June... continued apologies for being slow.)

Rio Ferdinand!

Furry hipster

The Schoolmaster

Oxford Daddy Long Legs

Three and a half men

Red in the Med

It must be a lovely thing for a Terracotta Warrior to find himself standing next to a man in two shades of pink...

Three Amigos

Zero Tolerance

In Canada, where this photo was taken, the police come down hard on socially divisive leg wear.

We wouldn't want it to get disproportionate of course, but something along these lines on the Kings Road from time to time might not be a bad idea...

Pimms

This could be a print advert from the '70s - in the days when The Ultimate Man was fifty years old, borderline alcoholic, and didn't smile unnecessarily.

A bloke from Hull who's in a band

Fish in a barrel perhaps, but hey. Not a million miles away from this guy.

In case you were wondering what sort of music a man dressed like this might produce, see here.

Spotted a four-leafed clover?

...or possibly about to vomit.

Geneva Airport

Combining RTs with a red tank top and a two-tone shirt (the "charlatan shirt" as I believe it's sometimes called) is definitely a first for LAMFRT.

He's obviously foreign, but I think it still counts.

Thank you to Milla for this one. Brave girl.

Great Dixter gardens, East Sussex

Many thanks to Mike for this one, who snapped this gentleman farmer shouting into his mobile phone.

Newbury races

The guy on the left looks a lot like Steve. They get about these fellows, don't they?
