Not so much out of fashion as out of existence, just been watching a re-run of the New Avengers, Gareth Hunt in a matching beige safari suit, the nemesis 'Scorpion' in beige jacket and matching flairs, beige sofas everywhere, beige trouser suits for the ladies (though Purdey was wearing a red, yellow and green cardigan and shawl with yellow-framed sunglasses - oh the 70s). Nowadays it's buff, vanilla or cream, normally off set by navy blue, gone are beige tops, bottom and shoes, biscuit beige, you never even hear the word, I have some beige document wallets at work, but I bet the lady in admin will describe them as 'sandy', which is a shame, anyone else feeling a sentimental loss for our current absence of beige? If so this the place to share your loss.

The other day he-who-must-be-fed came through to the kitchen wearing sort of gingery-beige cords and a fawn shirt. "Do I look ok?" he asked. "Only if you want to go out looking like a digestive biscuit" I replied. He disappeared and returned wearing dark grey cords and a teal shirt. Beige is alive and well and being fought against by women up and down the country!

I tend not to follow what the fashionistas dictate. Beige is alive and well chez Funt.

I was watching the cricket last week and when the commentators were standing on the pitch chatting I noticed that they were all wearing blue suits or trousers with brown shoes. In my day of wearing suits that was always considered a no no as brown shoes only ever went with a brown suit but it seems that fashions change. I've still got a pair of brown brogues somewhere so I'll dig them out and wear them with blue jeans so that I'm fashionable again
