) and it arrived today . She had asked for a "Large " size , not because I am large but because I seem to have very wide shoulders that split jackets wide open if I suddenly flex my arms. I only weigh almost smack on 12 stones which, I think ,is about 20 lbs. too much but nobody else other than myself seems to think I am fat. Anyway the jackets plastic wrapper said "Large" and the cardboard labels attached to the jacket said "Large" so I put the jacket on and just about bust it wide open right away. My wife was out (at the shops as per usual) so I carefully put the jacket back into it's bag to await her comments about me having turned into Billy Bunter overnight. I even stripped off and took a look at my man boobs in a mirror , not too bad I thought but decided to go on a diet.
My wife was not amused when she heard about this and said I should have got an Extra Large size .... I got annoyed at that and replied that no way was I a fat old git. Not fat enough to be an Extra Large anyway !
Determined to prove she was right .... as usual .... my wife then took the jacket out of it's bag, looked at the bags lettering saying "Large" then looked at the cardboard labels attached to the jacket saying "Large" and then finally looked at the cloth tag inside the jacket which said , "Small."So I'm not getting to be a fat old git after all and my wife is now sending it back to exchange it to a "Large" size ....but now she is muttering that I am a blind old git instead ! Funny how wummin always have to be "right !"
