Being on the short side, and thus needing to avoid looking completely stupid, I have, mercifully, never been a fashionista. Thus, there are no embarrassing wedding photographs of me sporting long hair and sideburns, while kitted out in wide lapels, kipper tie, flared trousers, and multi-coloured platform shoes!!
