I was in the vegetable aisle in Sainsbury’s one Sunday morning a few weeks ago when I spotted a very dapper old man dressed up to the nines in tartan braces and a bow tie.
He looked so fabulous I couldn’t resist paying him a compliment, so I went over and told him I loved his outfit.
His response has been running through my mind ever since. He smiled and said: ‘I dress like this for anyone who is going to cross my path today.’ Then he went off to buy some carrots.
It’s a philosophy I’ve been practicing myself for years – but I couldn’t have expressed it any better.
