These swimming shorts have served me for nearly 16 years. They first saw active duty on my honeymoon and stuck with me even after my dubious flirtation with speedos. But, they were no match for my son's feet which left the gaping hole you see on the left during submarine combat. Immediately after this post I'll be leading a procession round to the wheelie bin where they will be laid to rest. Please line the route. RIP shorts.
