As part of my ongoing forays into CDing, I went into some high street stores to look for bras, both yesterday and today. Yesterday was just to buy one to gauge the size and today to get one that was actually comfortable (and it is). Incidentally, I didn't realise before this that all the bras on a rack are in a random size order from where other people have looked at and then replaced them, meaning that one has to look at all of them to try to find one of the right size. So each rack takes a minute or two to get through.
Anyway, what I hadn't bargained on was that it is now school half-term, and there were lots of mothers with 8/10 year old kids in tow. As I was spending all that time at the bra racks I was thinking: what if one of those kids asks it's mother "why is that man looking at bras?".
Is it fair for a stranger to have to come up with an instant answer to such a question?
