World's largest women's shoe department opens in London

And, of course, those men with a preference for "alternative clothing choices."* I know of at least four (possibly five) TR peers who are no doubt planning a trip to London to take advantage of this. :D

*"Alternative clothing choices" courtesy Euphemisms-R-Us, a Politically Correct® industry. :p

If I had my druthers, I'd be barefoot. I hate shoes with a passion. Plus, I have a flying issue similar to what Purple has.

You are just crammed in a sausage tin, flying at a ground speed of 500 knots (roughly 600 MPH) at 39,000 feet (or 7+ miles up in the air)...

What's not to like? :D

Could be 6½ feet tall and crammed into a center seat in tourist, with seatmates wider than you are tall.

Always fun.

well...planes are known to fall out of the sky, plus the control freak in me can't actually fly the plane.

Being of wide girth myself, (I weigh in at about 345 pounds) I will buy two seats if I need to fly. Only fair that if I'm taking up part of another seat I pay for it. I will [u]not[/u] make another passenger uncomfortable because I'm too cheap.

I've got a mess of that kind of thing I can't bring myself to get rid of, too. How the hell I wore those bartending all those years I'll never know. :0

they could stay with me for a coupla days, then we could get a cheap day trip to London for this specific purpose.....

Mind if I leave you there a couple of hours? HOB calls me the Imelda Marcos of handbags (purses)..... now if they'd just make the same size department for THOSE......!

American English is more out-of-whack than you think, you're buying us lunch. After shopping with us so's we've a pack mule. :p

by Member 25348569

also means that, as a consequence of my Italian-alcohol-fuelled post, I am committed to buying lunch. No problem there. Hmmmm, Selfidges, Gadget and chums? OK, we'll wander down New Bond street

and I'll buy you dim sum in Chinatown.

As for "Neil as pack-mule", trust me in this, I will carry your purchases afterwards but you do not want me hanging around in the store. As I am completely bereft of patience and can't fake it, I do not shop well or quietly. And second-hand shopping is completely out and we'd all get thrown out.
