buying a school tie
I went to Cheltenham today and thought I would buy my son his new school tie (Pates) to celebrate the offer letter. I found out that you buy them in a shop called 'Famous of Cheltenham...menswear, schoolwear and sportswear'. It is opposite Primark...
Has anybody else been in there? It was a really grand looking shop with really grand looking sales people. It took all my courage to ask for the tie. I was given it tissue wrapped with a beautifully hand written receipt. There was no till. They put my money, wrapped in paper, in a kind of wooden lift and the change appeared 'as if by magic' in this lift thing.
Can't imagine a lot of small boys running about in there.

it's great - and there's a name for that chute thing the money goes in only I can't remember what it is
I remember having to come to Cheltenham, to the top of the Prom for uniform, when at school at Badminton in Bristol. Something bizarrely unhelpful about all this that I just love, none of this egalitarian making things easy. No, beautifully esoteric and tricksy.
