Once the red squirrel was a common sight In British parks and on country walks, yet now they are a rare sight indeed. It is common knowledge that the introduction of the Grey squirrel to our countryside has been the primary reason for the rapid decline in our native breed. Alas this is not the only wildlife which has dramatically been endangered by the introduction of a competitive breed from across the Atlantic.

I recall summertime walks as a child and taking for granted the sight of Y-fronts resting on washing-lines. The variety of Y-front was astounding: the Lesser-spotted White Y, the Greater Stained Y, the brightly coloured M&S, along with the Brown Paisley. Endless rows of garden washing-lines, all with Y-fronts relaxing in the breeze.

The Y-front did not just inhabit the city gardens. On sandy beaches along the British coast they could be seen basking in the sun or dipping in a rock pool.

Many believe it was the 1984-1990 Levi's advertising campaign which introduced the American bred Boxer-Shorts into the UK. The Boxer-Shorts where never really considered a threat to our native breeds of Y's - as they flourished in abundance and the Boxers were initially meant to have been contained and restricted to television captivity.

Nobody quite knows how, but the Boxers began to reproduce outside of the containment area and soon they were establishing themselves in towns and cities far away from the recording studios.

To this day studies cannot clearly define how the Boxers had such a rapid impact on the numbers of Y-fronts. But the success of the Boxer was undoubtedly linked to the rapid decline in Y's up and down the country.

At an astounding rate the Boxers evolved and new breeds appeared. The Common Cotton-Mix, which had been the original breed, was also now under threat by the genetically advanced Calvins.

I had the glorious privilege of sighting a Greater Stained Y on Sunday. Once seen in abundance, this now rare and lonely creature was resting on a bus shelter. As I gazed in wonderment at this rare sight, I realised how we should not take for granted that our Great British wildlife breeds will be around forever and treasure each and every sighting as a blessing that they live on.

In support of the Foundation for the Preservation of British Underwear Wildlife, I have pledged to help make record of the sightings to establish current numbers across the UK.

Please help by noting your sightings in a hope we can preserve this breed for generations to come.

........

Sadly since making this appeal in 2005, the Y's have further declined. More than ever, your help is needed.

I have three pairs locked in the darkest region of my wardrobe that have been there for a few years now.

They were bought by accident from a pants dealer who failed to make it clear to me that they were indeed Y-fronts.

I have kept them locked away, never seeing the light of day since. Despite my revulsion at these weird and unfashionable creatures I cannot bring myself to dispose of them.

Y fronts belong to the phyla- nadgerholderums...unfortunately this sub species of long john major increasingly over time became ever more vunerable to specialisation..namely centering its feeding habits on moist buggerums in the salty wastelands of gonadland ....

Over recorded history and study of naggerholderums its posited that the inclement climate change- namely warming of the scrots led the indigenous testes ( a off shoot of nadgers)to produce fewer young capable of meaningful reproduction ...this has had a derelectous effect of nadgerholums to hold their own in the increasingly competitive underbrush found in the mammalian outback...

Hope fer nadgerholdums lies in a collapse in the hold y fronts hold in tangled bank where the scrots historically have found a rich niche o a yeast free inclemency...and a hope fer global cooling..survival of the fittest or coolest never rung so true ...

The brown Y-fronts will be passed on to poor people in Liverpool to use as hats....

'An ode to the beloved Y front'

When they tell of the pants fronted Y

it's sad and it may make you cry,

once worn by Max Boyce

they were every mans choice

but now just by poor Stephen Fry.

Invaded our shores did those Yanks

the boxers first welcomed with thanks

all shapes and all sizes

with high and low rises

and now they're designed by Jeff Banks

But in life some traditions are finer

we want pants like those worn by a Miner

bring our Y fronts back!

To cover our sack

(even if they are made in China)

Spice 2011

I believe the vest (or simmit) was donated to a charity shop some years ago and was purchased by Mary Doll as a Chrimbo pressy for the love of her life, Rab C.
