School shoes

My daughter friend has offerd him her plimsolls but they are just as tatty should I make him wear those instead

They are starting to fall apart

I hope the child isn't really suffering. Worrying.

Why are you all so enjoying this thread?

And did those feet
In ancient dabs...

Is she hoping someone will offer her a great pair of substantial school shoes perhaps? What other reason can there be for her to come on here bleating about plimsolls?

And did those feet
In old plimsoll shoes. . . .
Oh no!!!

There could be a brisk rendition of 'Jerusalem'. And did those feet...etc.

Amen to that.

And Soontobe could give it a Christian burial.

You know drawing a line under it never works!

Let it sink below the Plimsoll line.

Why can't this thread be allowed to lie down and die peacefully? <sigh>

A local 'Academy' has- recently been sending some pupils home for not wearing 'regulation' shoes, or placing them in isolation!
I know 'rules are rules' , but can't help comparing this with my American friend's Granddaughter who wears bright yellow and green trainers for school with no ill effects whatsoever on her Eduation!
I'm glad the rules weren't quite so strict when my daughters attended the same 'Academy' when it was just an ordinary Comprehensive school.

You'll love having them Rose

Hmm, tough one anno

I was slightly surprised by the capital "L" , but of course that could be just me!

Do you think she still believes that we believe her?

Was going to write something more Anglo Saxon ......

It would appear that my advice to Liza80 fell on stony ground!

Mind you, walking over stony ground with splits in the soles of you pumps/daps/plimsolls could be a tad uncomfortable!

Ah, got it mcem
I was thinking about the other type of wind - sorry, a bit slow there!

? Gone with the Wind ? Re the tatty plimsoll dilemma - 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!'

!

'Gone with the Wind' - leaving behind the distinct aroma of old plimsolls

Rhett Butler's famous line comes to mind in 'Gone with the Wind'

Anya yes, double trouble!

However, they are too young to be making a nuisance of themselves on GN - and too nice!
