Went swimming again at Hoo on Thursday, the traffic is getting impossible, they've dug up the M2, the M20, the A20 and the A2 so all the roads between London and Dover are messed up, yet somehow one never sees anyone doing any work in the coned off areas.

Wore green swim briefs for my 1500m when I finally arrived, the Ebay seller has been removed so I can't post the page here.
The briefs are made from a fairly thin but very stretchy Lycra that I like. They are lined at the front and have a rear seam (giving support for the thin Lycra.
They are decorated with a metal eyelet through the fabric on the left hip.

The label at the inside of the back of the suit says "Aqux", has washing instructions in Chinese alphabet and the words "Made in China". I understood that Aqux was only made in Japan, I checked the Aqux website and didn't find anything like these briefs and assume them to be fakes.
They even got the Aqux logo wrong.

Why bother faking a product that looks and swims perfectly well ?
