Good - I wouldn't want to see a saggy-arsed, smelly, dressing gown-clad reprobate when I'm trying to decide which fruit to include in my diet.

Have a shower, get dressed, then go shopping.

You wanna come over this side of the country and say that?

My arse is neither saggy nor smelly. And I can assure you I'm not a reprobate.

This next bit isn't directed at you....

Why is it that most of the time I feel when I post on here I need to justify myself and my life? Stop taking the proverbial out of us single parents!

My original comments were directed at the lady in the BBC article!

I'm not sure any of the above has anything to do with being a single parent either - but I assure you no offence was intended and I'm sorry if I came across in a manner that upset you

I feel the issue this article is addressing, is not the type of person who goes to the supermarket in respectable sleepwear, but those who turn up wearing very little to the imagination and cause embaressment/discomfort to others.

I'm sure that alot of 'non-sleepwear' clothing could be far more revealing/grim that some of the latter mentioned pyjamas; nonetheless, this is almost drawing towards an issue of standards and class.

I personally don't wear sleepwear (boxers and tshirt etc) to the supermarket in the same way I don't wear a hat in a shop or go for a meal topless in shorts etc.

You don't have to. People are just taking the mickey out of people who go shopping in their PJ's, you don't have to take it so personally. Must say, I think it's a bit daft as well but can't say I get offended about it.

And nobody else mentioned single parents, that was you

That's why I miss shopping at Waitrose, all the pyjamas are silk and worn by delicious ladies.

I think it's ridiculous to go shopping in your sleeping attire :/

Happens all the time in our local store. It's only a little Tesco express in the middle of the student area. you see most of them in PJ's with a jacket and trainers on.

In Spain most people get the paper / walk their dogs / wonder round the veg market in PJs and dressing gowns - it's standard there

They also chase bulls with spears down the street and chuck donkeys off bell towers! Don't particularly want to see that happening in town either
