At the risk of going all mumsnet, some of those soles could do with a wee clean FB. Have you tried CIF ? The white stuff not the yellow one. I am surprised Mrs F allows them on her gleaming floors 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top row are my current everyday ones so they'll be getting replaced once we come out the other side of winter! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go to Manila on a regular basis with work about 10-15 years ago. The hotel we used was one of the top ones and had a massive lobby with a restaurant in it which was a bit of a see and be seen location for a certain section of Filipino society. I was checking out on Friday evening to go to the airport and as I was walking to the door I passed a table full of very wealthy Filipina ladies of a certain age. In the middle was one woman who clear was holding court, I’d no idea who she was but I glanced at her and our eyes made contact for a couple of seconds, When I was in the car going to the airport, it twigged to me that it was Imelda Marcos but I thought she’d been put into exile. I texted one of my Filipina colleagues and said “I think I’ve just seen Imelda Marcos in the Pen”, she replied “if you think you’ve seen her there, you probably have as that’s one of the places she hangs out”. I didn’t notice her shoes but she looked in good nick for a woman of her age. There’s a presidential election this year in the Philippines and her son Bongbong is one of the candidates along with the daughter of the current president Duterte’s daughter as a running mate. if you think politics in the UK is mad, it’s got nothing on the Philippines..

Fairbairn Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 And to add a bit of context to my Nike collection (not that anyone cares!), I can't really get Adidas that fit me properly and the missus has a few pairs of NB so both of them are ruled out!

Aye OK shortie 🤣 Your collection isn't going to get you many 'staunch' points either. Currently I have 5 pairs. 1 white/silver, 1 white/red 1 grey, 1 green, 1 black. (all adidas) I think I'm going to go into JD on Saturday early and annoy some gum chewing teenagers by trying on as many pairs as possible before going home to order online 😂 Edited February 22, 2022 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
