I like to imagine that this diary has a host of dedicated readers who avidly search each new entry for every clue that might help them work out what kind of mysterious person I am.

Well, actually, no. The thought gives me the willies, in fact. But as a sop to any stalkers in the audience (it would make life simpler if they would set their User-agents appropriately, then at least I'd have stats) I can now reveal: the misshapen kind.

I'd never previously noticed, but it's plainly obvious from this afternoon's endeavours to buy a suit. If only I'd known earlier, I could have saved the details from one of those spams advertising "INCREASE YOUR SIZE BY 2 INCHES GUARANTEED", because, frankly, a 32" inside leg would give me a lot more choice.
