Yes, Graham, I did once, at work. P knows the story, I think. I was squatting down to pick something up, or get something out of the bottom shelf of a bookcase, or something - I don't remember exactly - when the seam of my trousers opened "from arse to arse" with a noise like a pistol crack. With the sudden release of tension in the seat of my trousers, I actually fell over backwards. (True, honest!) God, I was SO embarrassed! Luckily I had a long coat to hide the damage on the way home, but it was quite draughty nonetheless.
Needless to say, my weight has gone on creeping inexorably upwards over the years.
