Do they still do that?!?

About 15 years ago, I was living in London, England... And I was surprised to see that people tucked in their sweaters (or jumpers as they are called)...

Do they still do that?!?

Anyone else have anything of inane wonderment?

P.S. - I'm ill and on meds which is probably why I though about posting this... Mayhap, everyone will ignore it!

Nah, well possibly old men/women but not as a thing - no.

I think it went out with the fashion of tucking tshirts in that was around years ago.

I was reading the liner notes from my new Clash double CD. It was a chronicle of some of the weird things the Clash members did in the 70's written by their longtime "valet". Anyway he mentioned the "Tele" or phone if you are a Brit I guess. So here is my question if you Google the word "Tele" and your IP address is in England, do you get a result that is customized for your country? Does it return info about guitars or telephones?

Is this inane enough for you?

No, a tele in the UK is a TV, phone is short for a telephone, not tele.
