...is this just happening here in Limerick or is it going on everywhere/ anywhere else?
I've noticed it over the last six months or so ...people (99% women) dropping their kids off at school or creche, wandering around supermarkets, just taking a wee dander to nowhere in particular for all I know ....All done in a pyjamas/jumpsuit type get up ...often set off with slippers and completed with a Hugh Hefner style silky dressing gown.
Is the place going fcuking nuts or have I missed some new fad?
Oops move to OT please. Thought I'd backed out of Current Affairs

Its fairly prevelant around where I work (north inner city) in the local Spar and SuperValue. Saw one a few weeks ago wearing BIG F.O. fluffy rabbit slippers and her pj's. Never thought I'd support introducing a dress code for anything but I'd support a no pyjamas in public rule!

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
I'd talk at the door in my dressing gown or do a quick drive in my slippers if i was dropping someone off nearby.
I often see the women in the park at about half 7 gathered at one door craving for some gossip but actually going out and about and doing your business in pyjamas is ridiculous.
I'd assumed it was a bit of a poverty thing. Women have often came into my workplace in their pjs and runners and started talking business-like about their financial business.
I think its hilarious.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

Very common among traveller women aswell.

I see it a lot around where I live in D1 / D3 when nipping down to the shop for something. I suppose the least they have something on!
Ya, sort of thing that wouldn't bother me now at all.
Just find it funny, especially when they wear runners with them cos they obviously weren't even rushing.

First noticed this trend when living up near Christchurch in Dublin, but have spotted it in Cork and Limerick now. Is this a hip hop trend that we don't about or what?
It's done in Liverpool. Saw that over two years ago and the house I was staying in, the grandkids were brought to school by the granny in her pyjamas, and yours truly went for the spin to see them off in.................a pair of pyjamas!!
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Not sure how these fads spread but I saw an Eastern European girl in Tesco, wearing a jacket over her PJ's. She was rambling away on a mobile, while filling a trolley with groceries. I mention this because it's not as if she just ran down to get some painkillers or something, which you may be able to understand.
The local Spar near me, in northside Dublin, is always full of women/girls in their PJ's.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Was working in Enniscorthy on Monday + saw 5 young ones walking around in pink pyjamas at around 12 o' clcok. Not a bother on them at all. Turned out there was a travellers wedding on and they were bride + bridemaids!
Saw them going into the church about 2 hours later + the brides dress was that big there was 6 people holding it off the ground for her......the dress was literally as wide as the road.
Rampant in the Talbot Street area of Dublin.
I suppose if you don't have a job to go to its easy to just not bother to get dressed, but I thought central heating made pajamas a thing of the past?
There was an artical in the Irish Times about mid November about the craze, as ORA pointed out Talbot st etc is swarmed with the little tikes
It's only just begun...............
If the last 21 years were class, here's looking forward to the next 21 years. It is our time
Hmmm... seems to be alot of us working in the Dublin 1/talbot st area of Dublin.
Peader you weren't by any chance in the Paddy Power on Amiens St on the last day of Cheltenham wearing a Cork City jacket?

No, I'm Dublin 7 based and am almost never in a bookies.
Actually, I was in Tully's Bookmakers in Clonakilty, wearing a Cork City polo shirt, on the last day of Cheltenham.
Spar at the Maple Centre on the Navan Road is a hotbed of PJ action.

Have been known to ramble to the shop in my pjs and even to the off licence...Its not a new fad its pure and honest laziness on my behalf
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
Na Maz, this is a fad. There's women and young girls walking around the place in their PJs. They're all at it in Dublin.

Good girl Maz(it is girl right?).
Heroic.
Anything where people decide "Ah i don't give a crap what I look like" is heroic.
Although maybe i'm just saying that cos I'm an ugle ****er.
Beats those people who get dolled up to go to the shop anyway.

I'd say its not a fad.
In fact I'd say it's more of an 80s poverty/ possibly rural thing.

Yeah but a lot of these girls look like they've spent ages doing their hair and make up before going out.
