...I wrote a long disclaimer for a post and now do not have the energy/spoons to write the post anymore.

Hate it when that happens. Saving the disclaimer to write the post another day. General synopsis: disconnect on personal (privileged) level regarding standards for women's clothing in UK, combined with own gender identity issues.

Also hate when the pharmacies close at 1 pm on Saturdays so I can't go get cough medicine. [sulks] Why are tissues so damn expensive here? It's not like other paper goods are pricey, and most other health/beauty products are reasonably or equally priced. (Except for contact solution, at which I am still boggling...£10 for 240 mL?)

ah, i see. my specs aren't that thick so it's not that costly to keep making new lenses as my eyes improve. but for you, aye, contacts would be better. it's not fair i know! do carrots work for you?

glasgow has too many shopping-type places, imho. i went last week and the size of merchant city was staggering. *sticks to edinburgh*

i'm curious as to the "normative expectations" of officewear here: i see quite a few ladies in suits? more than ladies in skirts+leggings?

I think part of it is younger women--less the execs and more the fashion on a junior level. Though I do think skirt suits are far more of a Thing here, too, from what I see.
