Sportswear to avoid

We are a little traumatised. Drinking sugared tea and wrapping ourselves in tinfoil helps. And nobody is looking at us strangely, which is nice. It's because they think we've just run the marathon. Now, Glitterditch does not do marathons, but it's interesting and vaguely satisfying to get some reflected glory. Unfortunately, and you may have guessed this, it was the marathon that caused the trauma in the first place.

We're not quite sure whether it was the vigorous run of that guy in the thong, or Big Brother winner of yore, Kate Lawler, sprinting in her smalls, but something certainly shook us. We did quite like the Batman and Robin fellows. And the fun runners wearing donkey heads. And we didn't see him, but apparently some 101-year-old was jostling in the jogging throng. Might even have been Ronan Keating?

But, you know what, all the cheering left us hoarse and cold. And seeing Gordon Ramsay triumph just made us hungry. And everyone was wrapped in flora foil! That just says sandwiches to us. Sausage sandwiches! Or at least it did until the advent of the man thong.

Please, please put those... running shoes away.
