Title: Buying shoes
Post by: Uncle Mort on September 03, 2012, 05:25:00 PM
I've taken my sprogs out many a time to buy shoes.

Shortest time in a shop for my daughter to find a suitable pair ~ about 25 minutes

My son ~ under two minutes.

I was so furious that I went outside and commandeered a passing woman for a second opinion. Sloane Street. She came in and produced a packet of pins from her wicker basket  ::)  and made alterations. I went to the pub razz:

While staying over night at the City of Europe in August I found the shop that I had bought shoes from in Lourdes 3 years ago. I have been looking for the similar shoes ever since.  They had the shoes, in a sale, wrong size.  I bet they had my size when I was staying there in June.  cussing:  Banghead Banghead Banghead
