During the lockdowns I have been wearing my casual jogging trousers but today with the sun shining and things warming up I decided on my belted casuals, There upon I got a shock,they didn't fit. This meant one of two things,the trousers have shrunk or my waist has expanded. The latter was the case of course I have gone from a trim 36" to a podgy 38" This is the first time in many years I have expanded and I don't like it. I had no choice but to order a couple of pairs of 38" on line,an unex…
