Dick Winters hits the House of Fraser

Yes my dear friends, you may well be wondering, ‘where has Dick been a hiding these last few weeks?’  Well, I jetted off for a bit of the old rest and relaxation in the beautiful Portuguese sunshine, played a few rounds of golf with a nod to dear old Henry Cotton, and consumed a fair few Mulled Madeiras (fabulous at the time but one’s left rather heady!)  All quite wonderful, but one has to return home sometime, and besides, the ‘Dickie Birds’ apparently had some rather exciting news, leaving me rather curious….

After a rather traumatic return journey involving screaming, badly behaved children with equally repellent parents, and the loss of my golf carrier containing my entire wear of Sporty Dicks, socks, and new clubs, I was not in great trim. I had also promised to attend a black tie event that evening with A, and although I could see it far enough, I’m a man of my word and would not duck out. The only fly in the ointment being, I had no socks to wear bar the loud stripey variety which would simply not do, so I trundled down to House of Fraser.

I was a man on a mission, with only a spare thirty minutes on my side. I sidestepped traffic/prams/mime artists etc in pursuit of my destination, the Underwear Department. Hallelujah! I grabbed a handful of fine knit, ribbed evening socks and briskly made for the queue. Suddenly a flash of bold colour caught my eye, and there, on the shelves was my very own range of ‘refreshingy cheeky’, luxury underwear! Yes, my very own Dick Winters boxer shorts were in store, looking fabulous, flirting with customers and tempting them to buy, just in time for Christmas shopping. Call me biased, but they really do make for the most fabulous gift, offering the ultimate in comfort for one’s ‘family jewels’ – certainly not a ‘dust gatherer’ destined for the back of ones’ underwear drawer.

And, as if this wasn’t enough excitement, Elaine the lovely sales lady, informed me that my entire range of Dick Winters was also available online, take a peak and click here…. Dick Winters in House of Fraser. The Dickie Birds have been busy and twas obviously why they had been trying to reach me, despite my ignoring them, that’ll teach me!

There was most definitely an extra spring in my step that night, celebration was in order – Clever Dick indeed!
