As many of you have taken the joy of pointing out (repeatedly and annoyingly) I am very tall. 6 foot 5 inches to be precise, every time I meet someone new, this is the first thing they notice.
Trust me, you wouldn't. And here's why. As a result of my large height and build, it means I have large sizes in all things: t shirts, trousers, shoes and even rings, to the point where it is almost impossible to walk into a shop and buy an item of clothing, like any normal person.
Let's take for example, shoes. I take a uk size 15 shoe (yes 15) this means when I walk into a shop and ask whether they have a shoe in my size, I am met with a slack jaw, gormless expression and an absent: "what?" this means I must go to the Internet, where even there, choice is limited, hence why I only own one pair of shoes, and one pair of trainers. However Johnny dwarf can walk into any show he wants and purchase clothing or shoes, thank to the miracle that is the kid's section (or equality as the government call it) well where is equality for the tall? Where is the section for us giants?
The most recent case of this is when I tried to purchase a ring for myself recently, again I take a large size (x or y for those keeping track) and even though it says in the brochure: 'available in sizes r-z' they didn't have my size, as usual.
