I was welding ..... suitably attired for Summer and stripped to the waist.

Next day I was tearing large sheets of flash burnt skin from my chest and stomach...

I STILL haven`t learned from that....but it`s hard to want to cover up, especially in the hot Florida sunshine

Any chance of a contact to get a pair sent over to the UK?

Or does any one else know of a UK supplier - just what I need, as I often don't bother with overalls for a small job because of the strange dance I have to do to get them on and off!

These are what they look like


I must say they are brilliant to get on and off with no hopping.

I will certainly get you a pair or 2, there are various qualities but I usually go for the 30€ ish ones they are usually in green and biege and a quality cotton, they even do then children size from a 5 or 6 yr old
If anyone wants one contact me, I have a paypal account
It would probably be more economical to send a few or I have a friend going back to coventry after xmas so would bring some over
I must say i have never seen the like in the UK
PM me with sizes

Hi

I want some of them, the times I have to take my boots off to remove my overalls, then step in a puddle and have cold weat feet for the rest of the day!

Florida sun! Huh, now you are rubbing it in!

Cheers

Dave

Little note! Just realised last time I posted this I posted it as part of Greenys post, must have clicked "Edit", instead of "Quote", I have tried to rectify this now, sorry! Embarassed

Earlier this year while working on the 541 chassis my partner Michelle came home from work. I stopped what I was doing in the garage to go and open the gates for her. On stepping out of her car I leaned forward to kiss her and she pushed me away saying "you've been using that angle grinder again". "Yes" I said, "could you hear me?" "no, you stink" came the reply. Only then I realized I did indeed smell a bit whiffy and had a warm glow at my feet and looking down saw my shoes on fire!. Burn right through to the socks too! Needless to say I still wear them as there is plenty of life left in them.

Mmm, they sound a bit "full Monty" to me, sure you're not moonlighting as a stripper?
