Kathmandu’s big sale is on again. They managed to make the prices of the down sleeping bags on page 13 of their catalogue

The lady in the corner who continually uses the speakerphone hasn’t twigged yet that I’m not the only one it’s bugging.

She may have apologised to me, but several others were left seething.
