Not quite sure how I got roped into this but I am currently in Oxford Street supervising (ie. walking behind and only speaking when spoken to) six 12-year-old girls on a day off school shopping for outfits for a school disco. Six of ‘em. Oh, and I hate shopping. #whatwentwrong

People, I have news. The last girl of the six 12 year olds has a new top for the school disco. Phew. There is talk of heading home soon. I fear it is only talk. I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Okay, so now we’re getting drinks at a cafe in Top Shop. As they don’t offer pints of vodka, I’m holding off til I get home. I remember home. It was a nice place I once used to spend time in with sofas and TVs... and vodka.

43 years ago I accompanied a friend to buy shoes for a wedding. There were 17 shoe shops in Cheltenham. We visited every one. Then went back and bought the pair that were obviously perfectly matched to the dress from the 2nd shop. Early lesson in losing will to live...

My daughters like Top Shop and they get cross with me for giving them a lecture about Philip Green each time they plan to shop there.

The difference between boys and girls: my wife can't understand when I go into a shop and buy the first thing I find that I like, and which corresponds to what I need. "But you haven't looked around the whole of this shop, nor the 6 others on the street!"

One day you'll look back and remember the trip with fondness... sadly, today is not that day. Are you risking a cup of hot chocolate and a cake with them all as well?
