Lederhosed

The Olympic Twelfth has come and gone, as have the 49 stalwart Lederhosed ’44ers who turned up to reune with the Classes of ’45 , ’47 , ’48 , ’49 next to Palmer Stadium.

The company had sold my front seat twice over, the other purchaser being a lederhose'''d young German.

One applicant, for example, had shepherded 25 lederhosed children in the Austrian mountains every day from seven to five.

The atmosphere was sausages and oom-pah-pah Friday evening, as aproned maids spun full short skirts and lederhose’d men hooted and schuplattlered^([sic]) in true Alpine tradition.

The poster shows a smiling Mrs. Young, three beer steins held out in one hand and a plate of German-style food in the other, while in the background lederhosed dancers cavort.

A bevy of English school kids in the company of a leder-hosed scoutmaster charged noisily in and out of this place for lunch, a hint that the creperie is probably your best choice financially if you are on the road in the French provinces with lots of mouths to feed.

He looked round, and saw that a coach-load of Japanese tourists had just been unloaded and were swarming around the Hotel Wald’s lederhosed reception team.
