Nothing is more tedious than the journal of other people's shopping. Suffice it then to say that we visited Broadmead in Bristol this morning, Clare bought a Gore-Tex jacket for 144 pounds (with YHA discount) from Berghaus, and I bought three pairs of jeans (pictured below, one pair exhibited) for 8 pounds each at Primark.
Waist 40" replaced by waist 36" since you ask .. and trying reasonably hard not to be smug!
