Before long British men adopted the fashion by wearing a knotted hanky on their head as beachwear, whilst their wives and girlfriends cowered behind windbreakers with one tit hanging out, munching on the hard fish paste sandwiches left over from the train ride to Brighton and making flaccid penis sandcastles.
The image was without exception enhanced by the wearing of a white string vest, braces, and rolled up trousers, whilst the men were happy to stroll along the beach in baggy grey y-fronts.
