I was all excited at the thought of getting me new garments with lovely deers on them, I already have Elephant pants and Tiger pants, but the ones with the deers always eluded me. It looks like I shall never get them though, because Gloria phoned me this morning and told me they had never sold them in ASDA and that I must be mistaken. Do they have them in any of your ASDA branches?  Or did I imagine the whole thing? I just don't know! © Furry x    Report

In the woods round here, deer mess is a big problem - the English forest rangers seem rather more anal in that respect than certain French doctors, who say that even humans should let their wind, perspiration etc flow freely for good health. So they catch the deer and put these big waterproof pants on them - a bit like the poo catchers used by horses in Vienna and Bruges. ASDA seems to have caught on to supplying this considerable demand (there are lots of deer in northern Sussex) and have started producing these garments, with the Deer George label. But only locally. They do recommend that you are very careful when patting your deer's behind, as in the ASDA TV adverts. I believe that Jeremy Paxman has tried them, and found them far more satisfactory on his pet deer than M&S pants.     Will intentionally blank signature http://www.vienormande.com    Report

I can't believe that I mistook "As the deer pants" for ASDA deer pants! God, I'm a real eejit no doubt.  It did make me realise just how important it is for me to get deers on me pants, so I suppose something good came out of this. Clair, they are lovely boxer shorts, but I only wear briefs because you don't get any support with boxers. I really want a pair of underpants depicting a deer eating leaves on a frosty december morning in the Outer Hebrides.
