Strange Anomaly #43

A few bits and bobs about clothing:

One; there are so many tags in shirts because the instructions need to be in so many languages.

Two; sizes here are a bit different as well. Sizes size 6 here is a size 10 back home. They have English and European sizes so where my shoes back home are a 10 I am either an 8 or a 42. Which is huge here by the way.

Three; since Irish are not exactly the tallest race of people, all of their trousers are super short and jeans only come in one long length (which still is not long enough for Ben and I) so what they do is alter and hem everything. Frustrating, so I just go to the American stores so I can find proper length but spend a fortune!
