That is precisely the point...

Some food for thought there, many thanks everybody.

I have remembered that I have some 'walking trousers' somewhere that I bought from Lidl, except they're not walking trousers at all becuase they have a very high lycra content which makes them look ridiculous as trousers. However, I reckon if I get the missus to convert them to britches they might be just the thing for a more modest option to tights for running on a cold day.
