Why I Wear Short-Sleeved Shirts

I nearly always wear short-sleeved shirts, except when I’m wearing a decent suit.

I usually say that this is the result of a bullying incident at school, where my arm was broken.  I was left with one arm about a centimetre and a half shorter and this means they never fit properly.  Until recently, I avoided use of my left arm if at all possible and this meant that I was even more lopsided.

So long-sleeved shirts never worked unless they were made to measure. 

But now that a guy called Dave Southby has made the arm and shoulder work so much better by just a lot of simple exercises.  That got rid of about over forty years of pain. 

So I bought two long sleeves shirts from Marks.  Nothing wrong with them and they fit reasonably well, but they have one major problem.

How do I wash up in them?

Thinking back that was probably the original reason I stopped wearing long-sleeved shirts.  Not because of washing up, but from about fifteen onwards I was always doing lots of things with my hands and long sleeves just get in the way.
