Suits You, Sir...


There is a British Ball being organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Ali has been able to get hold of a ticket for me, which means I need to get hold of a dinner suit. Apparently getting a made to measure decent quality suit is pretty cheap here so, (though I probably won't wear it very often) I decide to splash out and get one made: there's one (recommended) in the nearby Hartamas shopping centre so I head over there to get it sorted.


The tailor takes my measurements for the jacket and when he comes to my waistline, he measures it at 33 inches!! 

WHAT!?

I am mortified that I am going to have my first pair of made to measure trousers with a waistline that is the largest I have ever had. I try to tell him that he must be mistaken, but he just smiles and says "No mistake"

Time for action. No more crap food and gym everyday, forever.
