As I sit here watching 'Lewis' and pondering toast I wonder where all the colours have gone.
You see, when I started university all those years ago I got to wear all sorts of different colours. Pop down to good old C&A (do you rmember them??) and buy a couple of shirts in nice bright colours. Reds, blues, greens... all sorts of lovely bright colours.
During one of my rare occasions of putting clothes away (as opposed to storing them on a chair) I noticed that all my current batch of tops were white, black or green with the occasional detour into a blue or red.
So yesterday I headed into the great shopping centre that is Camberley in the hunt for something brighter and you know, it's a lot harder than you'd have thought. Wondering through the stores I found lots of bright colours that had big logos on, but looking for something that is just plain and simple... well, I could buy black, white or a khaki-green...
I did find some brightly coloured polo-shirts which raised my hopes... until I saw that they were Ralph Lauren polo-shirts and were priced at sixty of your english pounds each. Sixty pounds!!!
As comparision the ones I did find in a discount sports shop that were priced at four pounds forty-nine pence were much closer to what I was expecting. Alas only a red and a yellow were available in the bright colour range... apart from white, black and pink.
