Situazione:

Lei rispond con una battuta: "Oh yeah.I'll just leave a trail of bread crumbs to my bloomers." (e qui risate...si tratta di una sitcom)
Non riesco a capire il nesso di lasciare le tracce di molliche di pane con "to mya bloomers".

Reference

Reference information:
Se la sitcom è inglese, forse con "bloomers" si intende tutt'altro... Infatti si legge su Wikipedia:
"Bloomers was a short-lived British sitcom starring Richard Beckinsale that was aired in 1979. It was in production in 1979 but only five episodes were made before Beckinsale died suddenly from a heart attack just before a planned rehearsal for the sixth and final episode of the first series. Bloomers was immediately shelved, though the five completed episodes were broadcast later in the same year."

La trama sembra abbia proprio a che fare con casalinghe sole:

Plot: Stan is a worker for a small London flower business. The humour centred on the relationships between the workers and the scrapes they got into doing odd jobs in the gardens of houses in the district. Beckinsale's character, Stan, was apt to wind up in bed with lonely housewives, and equally apt to spend time with said housewives musing on philosophy and the pointlessness of life.
