Sometimes when you buy a pair of shoes, one of them can feel snug while the other one does not quite fit. Tom Boddingham (pictured inside his slipper/bed) certainly knows the feeling. When the 27-year-old Briton ordered a special monster-design slipper to fit his oversized left foot, he was sent the size 1,450 one pictured above because the Chinese manufacturers failed to spot the decimal point between the 4 and the 5. The slipper was sent directly from Hong Kong and measures 210 x 130 x 65cm, which is big enough for his 6ft 7in (just over 2m tall) frame to sleep in. He wants to sell the monster-sized slipper, which a spokesman for the factory said they thought was for a shop window display, on eBay but I think he should use it as a bed instead. When I move out of my dad's house (yes, I do still live with one of my parents, but just one of them because they have been divorced since 2003), one of those giant slippers will be my next bed.
