This was the third time ever that I had bought my own footwear. SO MANY PEOPLE IN A CONFINED SPACE! The plan was to find any pair of trainers in size 11.5, pay for them and get out of there! I think I did okay. They were £37.99 which is about £10 more than I was expecting. Reduced from £26,000.99 though, what a deal! The area near the tills was especially chaotic. One queue, which I avoided, had eight people in it. But then it turned out that all eight were buying one item between them so there was a sudden rush of people to that till when they all walked off together. There was some pushing and shouting. I stuck with my chosen queue and concentrated on my breathing.
End of part one. This exciting tale will continue after I've had some dinner.
