I was about to get my train back to university on Sunday and I fancied a hot chocolate. It was a little chilly in town and I didn't have my coat (March? spring! warm? lies...), so I decided I deserved one.

Off to Café Nero in Paddington. Could I have a hot chocolate please?

"Medium or large?"

What happened to small?

There seems to have been an ongoing quest to remove small. Whilst trying on shirts in Zara, I was offered the choice of Medium, Large, Extra Large or Extra, Extra Large. The medium one fitted well, but I'd just like to know how small "small" could be. I asked, and was told that Zara don't make small. Medium is small.

Now I'm not that small. Well I am sort of, I have a 29" waist and generally wear small sizes. But I'm not medium.

I don't think men not suppose to be small? Is that what the problem is? Surely any offense that is caused by calling me small is counter balanced by calling reasonably big people "XXL".

So back in Café Nero... "Regular, please" – hoping for something that wasn't the size of my head. And sure enough, quite a small hot chocolate was presented to me.

It wasn't regular, it was small. But they don't get that for some reason.
