Lace versus leather

Dame Thompson is now wittering on about the joy of conservative young seminarians.

A priest friend of mine, recently returned from Rome, was talking about these young men in the birrettas, soutanes and frilly surplices.

I nearly choked on my G&T as he leaned forward and whispered: "Lace by day, Dear, and leather by night".
