Mary decided that she too, like many women, wanted a few new clothes for the winter.But she was too lazy to travel 10 miles to a large shop.Instead, she decided to look online.
Fascinating how to learn many clothes there are available.406 tops or T shirts.67 types of trousers,89 coats and 76 raincoats.How many of us wear raincoats when we have cars? Mary wondered.As she still rode a bike she did wear one.But her old one was fine.
See, Emile, she said to her cat, which Top shall I buy?Some have fancy sleeves with bell like cuffs.I like them.And look, red is back in fashion
Knowing you I’d only be waiting for the sleeve to dangle into some tomato soup, he answered cheekily.
A good point, she muttered.Some have short sleeves which may be ok if you work in a hot office but not when at home where we all try to save on heating bills.
I say, Emile, why are there so few wool coats and sweaters on sale?
Maybe the sheep have stopped growing new coats after being sheared!
Oh,dear, I hope that is not true as they will get frozen up on the moors.They will need coats too.I think it’s more likely that people will not save up and buy one good garment.They want a few new things after a week or two and they throw away the others.It is hard not to fall into this trap when you have 56 credit cards and a debit one tooI feel terribly worried.Shal I ring 999 and ask Dave what he thinks? Mary cried
He has no more idea than you, Emile said but some folk say we are heading for a crash again.So much for Austerity when people have to borrow money for food.
I’d rather have a cup of tea,said Mary.And so she did
