heelman500 25 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Went to Matalan today, looking for some ankle boots. They are the only place that had ankle boots at this time of year!! I managed to find a pair with an elasticated ankle for just £6 in a size 8/42. They fit ok, little bit tight but hey ho. When I went to pay, the very attractive 20 sonething blonde assistant, looked me straight in the eye and said "are they for you?" It took me totally by surprise and I almost missed the chance.... But yep theyare fir Me was my reply! She was totally unfazed by this answer ( I guess she had me sussed out already). The moral of this story is buy in store....... Because you can.... Happy shopping folks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't have gotten past "ga ga ga ga" Wonder why she asked? [she wouldn't have asked if you bought a bra, would she? So maybe she DID have you sussed, and was rather cheekily looking for confirmation?] I think you are right though; "buy in store ..... Because you can...."

FastFreddy2 282 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I would have taken it (the original enquiry at Matalan) as an opportunity to chat, if time allowed. Not by me obviously. I'd still have been in 'ga ga ga ga' mode as I left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
