I remember having an almighty barney with my eldest lad when he was 13 back in '87, insisting on a pair of 
'Black Knight' pumps.
75 bloody snotters...seventy bloody FIVE! 

His mother caved in and bought them without any contribution from me whatsoever.
They lasted 3 months before being binned in tatters. 
 
 Oh just how much did I chortle ey?
