Going skiing on Sunday reminded me of how I'd made a fool of myself the previous weekend.
In an effort to cut the cost of equipment hire, my wife and I had bought ourselves skis and ski boots. However, when we first went out on the snow with our new gear, my right boot felt somewhat tighter than my left. Remembering that I'd seen a sign advertising a "free ski check", I went and asked if they could have a look at the binding on my right ski.
Imagine my embarrassment therefore when the young man explained that the complimentary service on offer was merely the ability to leave your skis and poles in a sort of outdoor cloakroom.
