My best equivalent in the Bombay Stores in Bradford, though this sells other goods as well – mainly clothing and jewellery from the Indian sub-continent. The zips alone make the shop more than worth a detour. Brilliant stuff.

I still have it somewhere in a cupboard and will come and show you when I’m back from my journey.

I remember how long it took me to iron out the pleats! I had not realized it was arson.

I hope this entitles me to a discount when I embark on my dressing making bobbie, one of the past times I enjoyed with my elder sisters way back when I was a teenager.

May allah bless you with continued success in you ventures.

Thank you so much for my book, by the way.
