Lord Mayor Apologises After His Trousers Fall Down in Front of School Children

England: Leicester´s Lord Mayor, Colin Hall, has apologised profusely over an incident which left him standing in front of pupils from three schools with his pants around his ankles.

Hall has been on a diet to reduce his weight which currently stands at 16 stone. He had been wondering how to publicise his weight loss. The ease with which his pants fell at the school event made his excellent progress clear to all present.

"Unfortunately, I had chosen not to wear a belt and the trousers came loose and fell. I would like to offer my deepest apologies to anyone who was offended by the accident," said Hall.

I remember reading this a few days ago, but thread fails to deliver.

I thought we would indeed, get a story about your own trousers falling down.

If it was one of us we would for sure get arrested.

I'd pay to watch Khaaan's trousers fall down.

Wait, what? >_>

*chuckles*

I'm surprised he didn't just buy new trousers, or at least wear a belt as it's fairly obvious if your trousers are a little too large (I lost 2 and a half stone and went from a 40" waist to 36"*)

*Rather annoyingly after I'd just bought a new suit.

Pupils from THREE schools and none of them had a camera phone at the ready? :\

Indecent exposure for the win!

Well at least it wassn't intentional.

LoL, that would have been a good laugh if someone recorded it.

Surprised that some stupid zealot didnt utter the "P" word what with the paranoia these days....

I'm confused as to how a grown man cannot sense his trousers are about to come down and stop it happening, especially whilst in front of an audience of schoolchildren. Unless of course he was fully aware and decided to let it happen...

Have to admit it does sound odd. How did they not fall down when he was walking beforehand?
