Dave doesn't wear pyjamas to bed. He thought this was normal until his wife told him it wasn't.
We ran a poll on this very important issue. Pyjamas or no pyjamas?
Men:
An astonishing 76% of Irish men don't wear pjs to bed. They go "au natural". The other 24% are a mix of t-shirt wearers and men who sport the "ripped in pj bottoms" look.
Some of the men of Ireland had this to say:
'Lads I haven't worn PJs since I was 10 when my (typically irish) ma took them away saying 'it's about time u started growing up now'. Sleeping in just d boxers ever since. Tough to take but she's still An absolute legend. Shane in swords'
'Sleep in the nod. That way, If your being burgled and they are in your bedroom, pull back the covers and say I'm ready, where have you been.'
'Lads not only do I wear pyjamas but I wear the big gown pyjamas with a candle holder n'all . I love it but the missus not so much, it freaks her out a bit. She says it reminds her of ebeneezer Scrooge'
'My daughter 5 yrs old announced to whole class room that i dont wear pjs in bed so embarrasin! Sean'
'Hey lads ,me wowan wears wooly pyjamas and wooly socks in the bed its like sleeping with a friggin bigfoot !!!! Murt :-s:-s'
It's very different in the female camp. 61% of Irish women say they wear some sort of clothing to bed but 39% say they will sleep in just their underwear or sometimes nothing at all.
The ladies of the country said:
'I'm a girl and I don't wear pj's, am I weird? '
'lads, I'm a girl (last time I checked) and I don't wear anything to bed. Gillian T.'
'I'd be freezing if i wore nothin. I wear fleecy pjs every night. Very warm and toasty. :)'
'My boyfriend hates when the pyjamas go on. He knows it'll be a quiet night. Leah, Westport'
Interesting!!!
And our two favourite reactions to our poll on the Today FM text line (53102):
'I wear 3/4 length ireland or aston villa tracksuit pants and a slayer tshirt. Eamonn in ennis'
'Hey Dave your right to only wear your jock to bed I do the same I let all my manly hair out... Big Dave here the lumber sexual man..'
Legends!!
