Is what I was thinking.  But, since BrianI is here, perhaps we should moderate the slur by saying some moth larvae eat clothes. ;)

A bag full of electrical-related gubbins in a gathering of cyclists?  Who could that remind us of?

I still don't really get the narwhal thing, but it's definitely linked to you lot for me now :)

Meanwhile, I bought two pairs of black jeans earlier today.

I definitely meant to get jeans. The only criterion for colour was that they were less '90s stonewashed' than the current pair.

That sounds awfully familiar...  (Have recently bought 4 pairs, and culled the worst of the fade-to-grey stonewashed ones.)

Always turn black jeans inside out before washing.

The ones to be replaced were formerly blue, and probably genuine 90s :)

Always turn black jeans inside out before washing.

The ones doing the replacing went *straight* into the wash before folding could even be contemplated. Why do things from charity shops always smell like that?

I wish my jeans lasted that long.  I'm strongly left-kneed, and tend to destroy them there, if the crotch seam doesn't fall to bits first.

I was an awful lot skinnier in the 90s, of course...

Because otherwise they would smell of one particular previous owner.

Didn't have time to stop and take a pic, but I saw one of these lorries on my way to the station this morning...

Heard, actually.

There's a discussion of Tokamak on Inside Science on Radio 4 right now.
