School shoes

And me too

Same here, aggie.

We used to get the front bit of our last years sandals cut out and wore them for playing , new ones bought at Easter to do all summer for "best "

Phoenix you know me so well

This thread has brought back memories of a lovely pair of pumps I had back in the day. They were Dunlop and they were white. I wore them all through one long hot summer, lovingly whitened every night so as to be pristine for the next day. They were so comfy, oh how I loved them.
We played out all day every day and had 4d to spend, a Snowfruit, 3d and a BoBo bubblegum 1d. The Snowfruit soon went but the bubblegum lasted for hours, it took lots of concentration to blow the biggest bubble.
Thank you Liza80 for helping me resurrect that lovely memory.

I've reported this thread, I hope it gets deleted, I believe the OP is male and getting off on this. Please don't reply to it any more.

This thread has been nearly as entertaining as Broadchurch!

I think these threads have been set up by GNHQ, and on 1st April the original poster will come on to say she has bought her son some nice black lace-ups from Clarkes. And then it will all come out in the open. The most ambitious April fool joke in the history of the internet.

As a child in Essex we all got free plimsolls in school as we needed them. I think they came from the Bata factory. Sometimes they were new sometimes they were worn first by other kids. Those came with free athletes foot or free varruccas.

Keeping this going - a friend has a long standing grudge against his mother for making him go to school in Wellington boots because his school shoes had been soaked in a lunch time rain storm. My mother made me wear a pair of furry ankle boots to school in the early sixties. I was so embarrased by them but they would be fashionable now.

I have to say GNrs banter about it has been amusing.

Ah but Mini will it be expensive Farrow & Ball paint, or cheap stuff from Homebase?

I'm off to watch paint dry . . . . .

Has this thread come back to haunt us!

I've just spotted this thread not being particularly interested in shoes and cannot believe it has run to 8 pages. What a laugh !

There should be a comma after 'aren't'! Because I know you are phoenix.
Oh for goodness' sake! Goodnight all.

I know you aren't phoenix!

anno I'm not!

How can anyone still be taking this poster seriously?

Through gritted teeth THIS IS NOT REAL

PS And neither is it entertaining.

I will repeat a post on the other thread: SOD OFF

Look in the charity shops and get her second hand ones and get him some too lol

I know, you're going to buy him Primark ones instead.
Honestly, how much longer can you spin this out? bored already.

I've come to an agreement with him

Boring, boring, boring..................

Or should I make him wear his own till they fall apart he knows he can't get any new ones because I bought my daughter expensive vans recently
