PeverilPeril 3,290 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Crocs mean healthy feet. I wear them most of the time - not yellow ones though 6 months or more of the year = crocs with no socks when gardening or some other leisure times. I am chastised for wearing crocs and shorts while chainsawing, stone wall building and climbing trees - but hey! - at least I'm not wearing tracksuit and trainers! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have this phobia of walking about bare footed, can't do it. ! When I see someone walking bare footed even in a film I have to look away, I'm most comfortable with my size ten steel toe capped boots on ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,635 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I like my size 8 workboots,soft leather uppers,chemical and oil proof soles with steel toe caps,If we go out somewhere I usually wear them,come in handy to put under the back wheels of the mobility scooters when the ignorant sods expect me to move out of their way,gives them a bit of a fright when the back end of their machine suddenly launches in the air,I make a bit of a song and dance about being run over and make out my foot hurts (they don't know my boots have steel toe caps) just my way of getting through the day and having a bit of fun Rog 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,191 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I love the 20s style of dress in men and women,............in women most flesh covered up....with just the odd tantalising glimses,not like today with most younger ladies that hide almost nowt,............and the men in 3 piece suits,Trilby and fancy Dan shoes.........Elliot Ness' style,......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still have some finely tailored suits for when the occasion arises. When going out I wear a tweed jacket and trilby during the cooler weather, or a lightweight tailored suit or jacket and Panama in Summer. Oh! and proper shoes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,290 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Steel toe cap boots the self defence weapon no one can take of you a quick kick on the shins settles most arguments............. How uncouth! A precisely aimed winkle picker was far more effective Reminds me of the pair of expensive, cool sued winkle picker shoes I once had. Didn't last long. Woke up one morning after a heavy night on the town, reached under the bed for the po, only to discover that I had used one of my prized winkle pickers during the night instead! Emptied temporary po and put it on top of the boiler to dry. Phew!! Eye watering reek!. The dried shoe ended up as hard as a pot out of the kiln and had a salty tide mark and texture. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,290 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 #88 I was into the 'Italian' style then - you know - short jackets and winkle pickers. That period followed my short lived drape and brothel creeper year. I ended up as a duffle coat and college scarf type before I (nearly) grew up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,321 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 It was a Latin word, wasn't it? Pronounced with a hard 'c'. Also applies to those holy water repositories in RC churches where people were blessed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
