The trouble with me...

Since the start of 2007 I seem to be getting more and more irritated by the silliest of things. For example, people with trousers an inch too short for their legs - it looks silly, and how I groan when I see it happening. Surely, like me, people check before leaving the house to make sure that their trousers fit?

Another good example is men who have taken to wearing brown shoes with dark suits - I don't care whether brown is the new black, it doesn't work unless you are the man from del monte and are wearing a light tan linen number (which is to be avoided at all costs unless you also own a hat).

Finally, in this rant, I would like to draw attention to men who have started to wear long pointy shoes. Their feet can't possibly fit into more than about two thirds of the shoe. I know if I wore shoes like that I would not only look like a penguin, but would also stumble around tripping over them, which again, is plain daft.
