Can anyone tell me why ...

Sloths are suddenly the 'in thing' ?

I was in Matalan yestermorn with friends - and there were sloths everywhere! On jumpers, on pyjamas, on table mats, on table linen - even on Christmas (yes - already ) cushions, curtains, fleecy throws, soft toys and children's bed linen.

Nothing against sloths personally - I am sure they are very cute and have a lot to offer - but - why sloths?

When l think of sloths, l think of The Barchester Chronicles where the slimy, Obadiah Slope, looked and behaved like a sloth.

ST, I don’t know if sloths are in fashion or not?

Not seen anything to do with sloths ST. Strange creatures aren't they though? You got to love them

You'll all be seeing them everywhere now that I have mentioned it ! Look in ASDA or Matalan - sloths are taking over the world! Slowly, of course.

Re: Can anyone tell me why ...

There was an advert featuring a sloth lounging around on a sofa a while back. I haven't seen them anywhere else yet.
I turn into a sloth myself in about five minutes time when I get some much needed sleep.
