It’s always the shoes…
I found out fairly last minute that I’d be needing some smart clothes for a meeting tomorrow. Day to day I wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, but never a decent pair of trousers or shirt and tie.
Anyway, I couldn’t realistically go all the way up to Leeds (ish) to grab a jacket, trousers and tie, so I figured I’d just head into town at lunch and buy a pair of trousers and shirt.
Annoyingly shops no longer sell sensible shirts. The options have changed from regular shirt collars, to extra-wide ones, suitable only for Windsor knots. Not content with this I checked out a few more shops to find an alternative—I didn’t manage this, but it did occur to me that I couldn’t wear my regular shoes.
I’ve not bought a pair of shoes so quickly in my life… “do you have this in a 12?”, “ah, yes, my foot fits in… I’ll take them.”
It’s always the shoes…
