It seems that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been forced to change his shopping habits after a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. Instead of his usual weekly trip to Marks and Spencer, he was seen browsing for bargains at the B&M budget chain in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Sporting a somewhat formal white shirt with the top buttons undone and sleeves rolled up, he carried a B&M bag in hand.
However, it seems that the former PM may have misplaced his trousers and resorted to wearing a pair of shorts instead. To complete the look, he paired them with dress socks and smart shoes, making for an interesting fashion statement. A keen-eyed shopper who snapped some pictures of Boris shared that he was seen driving off in a green Toyota Previa people carrier and was also spotted paying for his purchases at the tills.
According to the shopper, it was quite a surprise to see Boris Johnson shopping at a B&M store in Didcot. They shared that they were with their wife when she pointed out the familiar figure, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed the ex-Prime Minister himself. The shopper also noted that Boris was seen driving an old car, which was unexpected as one would usually expect someone of his stature to have a flashier vehicle. It turns out that he uses the people carrier to shuttle his kids around, giving us a glimpse into his personal life.
This shopping trip seems to be a step down from his time as leader of the government, where he and his wife Carrie renovated their Downing Street flat with luxurious touches, including "gold wallpaper." In contrast, he was spotted browsing the chilled meats section at M&S earlier in the year. He appeared to be scratching his head while surveying the refrigerated section before leaving with a bag full of goods.
It's not every day that we see a former Prime Minister shopping at a budget store, but it's refreshing to see that even leaders of the government appreciate a good bargain. Perhaps this is a glimpse into a more down-to-earth side of Boris Johnson, who is often portrayed as a larger-than-life personality.
