It's New Year's Eve, the writing says,
In nineteen-ninety-three.
I turn the photo over,
And shriek at what I see.

One guy who's had a few too many
Carlsbergs at the bar,
Is posing in a mini skirt,
And tarty black lace bra!

He's holding up the mini skirt,
To show briefs of hot pink lace,
And shiny scarlet lipstick
Is smeared across his face.

I'm still standing laughing,
He really does look sad!
But suddenly I stop and gasp:
"Oh my God! That's DAD!"

I have had this dress for 7 months now and hesitated to wear it...... I found it on ebay, a new chinese supplier and bought it for the princely sum of £9.99.

Anyway, all was well, and it attracted lots of admiring comments when i wore it on Friday night.

If you're visiting England, then you'll find that like any country, it has it's own unique expressions which can be confusing for those not familiar with them - even if you're visiting England from an English speaking nation such as the USA or Canada.

Parky - meaning cold. "It's a bit parky out" = "It's cold outside"
