Wandering into WH Smith in Enfield at lunchtime I was struck by a most unusual sensation–a feeling of being crowded and every so slightly overwhelmed. It took me a few minutes to realise what was causing it–presumably in an attempt to cram as much stock into their limited floor space as possible, they’ve increased the height of all the shelve units around the store so they’re a couple of feet taller than they were before, and therefore just taller than me (where I was previously head and shoulders above them). Very, very odd, and not a little uncomfortable.
Is this what it’s like to be small?

Yes, it is. That is why heels are fantastic.
And that is also why flats/flip-flops being in fashion is such a problem.
Think of how terrible it was for me! I felt about 3 inches tall!
