So, right, ahem, I hate this so much: I was wrong about Sports Direct. Trainers come with their sizes listed in US sizes. I live in the UK. They’re not the same. When I ordered size eight the other day, they interpreted that as US size ten, which was correct. I should have ordered size six. I was not thinking. I was thinking it says eight on my shoes. I know what size I wear in the UK. Why, as is a favourite phrase of colleagues, I did not ‘engage brain’ is beyond me. I will claim Friday night tiredness.
There is egg all over my bright red face. I feel incredibly stupid and even worse for my harshly worded email to the company. At the end of the day, though, I’ll get my money back, they get their shoes back, everyone’s happy…except I still need a pair of bloody shoes. In the words of Charlie Brown: arrrggghhhh!!!
