MY WIFE recently ordered three blouses online to collect from a local store: one pink and two white.

On trying them on, she found the pink one a perfect fit and one of the white blouses a tight fit, while the third blouse didn’t even button up.

Taking them back to the store, I asked how it was possible to order three of the same size and receive three different fits.

“The explanation puzzled me: “They were probably made in different factories.”

That may be so, but how can three different sizes be still called the same?

Just going out to have a look at the car tyres I bought last week.

The car seems to be going around in circles a lot and I am starting to wonder if the tyres are all the same size.
