Passengers aboard the ship on which we are about to undertake the next leg of our journey are expected to maintain a standard of sartorial elegance that is beyond the usual demands of either the Captain or the Purser of our own cruising domain.
Having failed miserably in our previous attempts to find the necessary accoutrements, we thought that it would be difficult to fail in Oxford Street, the heart of London shopping. With more than three hundred shops, designer outlets and landmark stores to choose from, how we wondered, could we go wrong?
By lunchtime, having still not quite satisfied the brief, we wandered casually into Selfridges. Before our very eyes the perfect top just seemed to materialise. Wonderful! Thankfully we had taken a quick glance at the price before being approached by the friendly assistant. We had a moment to decide whether to proceed with the purchase of the shimmering blouse to be worn to dinner on one occasion or whether to use the money to buy a new car.
“May I be of assistance?” she enquired.
“Not at the moment thanks, we’re just making a decision.”

LOL! So, how's the new Lamborghini?
Spring for it, buddy. You can't put your money in your coffin.
We ordered the car today Jack, for delivery on our return! :-)
Subaru, Rob!
