You might well regard the following comments as simply further evidence of my unceasing stagger towards middle age. And you would probably be right.
But I went into three well-known high street sports shops at lunchtime today in search of a pair of "proper" running shorts. Sadly I couldn't find any and will now have to look on t'Internet.
By the time I reached shop number three, I was really beginning to wonder what the heck was going on.
I mean, if sports shops don't sell running shorts then what are they there for?
And suddenly I realised the answer was before my eyes. They're there to kit out chavs.
All around me were shellsuits, caps, branded tee-shirts, hoodies and expensive trainers. But what was almost entirely absent was clothing and equipment for use in actual sport.
Is it me?
More than likely.
