My trouser size is 36 but is that my waist size?

Damn! I'm gonna have to pop round Sainsbury's now.

Totally agree Twink.
I don't eat much sweet stuff usually, never had a sweet tooth, but last week at Asda, I really fancied a fresh cream apple turnover, but found I couldn't buy one as they are packeted in two's. I didn't want 2, I wanted 1, but it was 2 or nothing. It's the same with loads of things you find if you are only shopping for one person.
