There was a 20ish girl on the tube on Friday at rush hour wearing exactly this. It was clear the boyfriend was cringing at the whole carriage's attention focused on the do. I think they were Northern, but it can probably be seen in parts of London if you know where to look

Tuf Wayfinder shoes in the 1960's for young lads, they had a compass in the heel inside the shoe with a small flap for access and animal paw prints moulded into the soles, they were made by special arrangement with the Boy Scout movement. I had a pair around 1967/8. Later to cash in on the Moon Landing in 1969 they brought another version out with a magnet in the heel and silver painted soles moulded like a map of the moon. 😁

"Tuf Wayfinder shoes in the 1960's for young lads, they had a compass in the heel inside the shoe with a small flap for access and animal paw prints moulded into the soles, they were made by special arrangement with the Boy Scout movement. I had a pair around 1967/8. Later to cash in on the Moon Landing in 1969 they brought another version out with a magnet in the heel and silver painted soles moulded like a map of the moon. 😁"

My next door neighbour, a couple of years older than me, had a pair. I was slightly envious, but then again I had a pair of George Best football boots with purple panels and laces along the side.

The neighbour was something of a nerd though, he made a Plaster of Paris cast of his Wayfinder soles.

"English speaking people in English towns and cities.

I live in London, we speak English.

Do we really?"

Just admit you're racist, it'll save time. Prove to me one town or city on these islands where noone speaks English. No "proof" from the daily mail or GB news please.

Where I was living in West Wales, up to about 3 years ago, we did have a 'scrap man' drive up the avenue with a loud hailer. Very handy to. Would take metal and plastic stuff and any conked out kitchen and garden appliances.
