Be thankful you never hit size 13 and realised nowhere in your town stocked any shoes in that size or bigger! Size 12 has always been the cut-off for high-street shops. Things are so much better these days, with the internet and some of the big chains like Sports Direct, but when I was a teenager in Kent I'd have to take day trips into London just to buy some cheap shitty no-brand trainers and pay through the nose for the privilege. Bit of a shiter if you're poor. Edit: we all have one foot smaller than the other, to one degree or another. As your feet get bigger, the difference can be more pronounced, so I have a full size difference between my feet, just to make matters worse. You cope with it by buying the larger size and wearing thicker/several pairs of socks on the smaller foot.

Hedgecutter Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The spelling of Filipino considering Philippines starts with a 'Ph', not an 'F'. Perhaps the inconsistency with the 'p' vs 'pp' too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they only had one suit that might fit him - they had to take 5 inches off the legs. I mean...who did they make this suit for originally? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever hanging about in a Walmart and getting bored...maybe an American friend is picking out their new AK-47 or something...take a look at the gents' jeans. They stock all sorts of bizarre sizes, and you can't help but try to visualise the people they're made for. My record was a 24" waist with ludicrously long legs, and a 60" waist with a 26" inside leg. What a buddy cop show that would make. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Over grieving. Sad when someone dies but when 83 year old woman dies don't think we all have to go into shock, Same for old QEII when she pegged out, she was 96, wasn't expecting her next headline to have been her entering the London Marathon raising funds for Help the Aged. Tina Turner, fine woman, hard life in parts, some good music, some overplayed stuff, but she was getting on hardly needs to be number one, top of the charts headline on every news bulletin for 24 hours. Old woman died - move on please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though like every other junction in Larbert, I bet the situation is made even worse by pensioners in small cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the inconsistency with the 'p' vs 'pp' too. The term Filipino/Filipina is pretty new - only became common in the late 1890s. Slightly interestingly the nationality and male name is the same - Filipino but female is Filipina. Even after 8 years here I still have to double-check the spelling of the country at times - pp or nn or ll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
