WHENEVER IRELAND gets even a taste (just a taste) of summer, every woman longs to rip off her opaques and expose her legs to the sun.

Usually around the end of April, when there’s a sniff of warmth in the air and an unmistakable Grand Stretch.

Legs need to be shaved and moisturised, if you’re into that. Tan needs to be applied (again, if you’re into that).
You look the fool if you take all these steps only to discover it’s due to rain

…And allow us to stop spending precious minutes of our lives thinking about hosiery

We have other things to do, like drink pints in the sun.
But remember girls:
Whoops!
