Good morning everyone,
I know I am going to regret this but I have looked on the internet and come across nothing about strides which would warrent Keaydian to be arrested.
So after trawling through pages of the internet 'What are strides?' and how do you know the word stockbunny? ;0).

"Strides" - Slang word for trousers.

Think it comes from Australia Blue. Seem to recollect Crocodile Dundee mentioning his strides.

Oh you are so helpful, thanks a lot for that. Obviously must have heard it used in that sort of context as I've watched Crocodile Dundee, but I tried all sort of google searches and didn't arrive at that meaning. I think they are called slacks for slang.
As a rewards the breakfast is on me and I will do the cooking and washing up ;0).

I'm so please Bluelady has volunteered to wash up and cook because I have a few old friends popping in for lunch on their way to a function. They are good musicians so they may play a few tunes for us, you may have heard of them, Central Band of the RAF.

Optomistic, good on you for completing the ceiling.
Socrates, it was breakfast I was offering but I don't mind doing lunch also for your old friends. Washing up is no problem as I'll just pop it into the dishwasher. My food is so tasty I won't even need to scrape anything in the bin.

Bluelady - You will do better if you Google "slang strides".

Googled it and came up with many different meanings for strides, including trousers.
Jekyll and Hydes is cockney rhyming slang for strides, no wonder English can be so difficult, lol.
