Why??? Why why why do some folk think its normal to walk round the streets, go to the supermarket, shopping centre, restaurants etc with no shoes on????

ITS SOOOOO DISGUSTING!!!!!!!

Apart from the fact that dogs piss in the street and they are walking in it, I dont need to see your filthy dirty feet when im eating my dinner!!

A guy came into my shop today, which sells loads of glassware, then complained when he cut his foot on some glass shards(a customer dropped a vase earlier)

Well put some f@*#$n thongs on you absolute minker!!!

Rant over!!

Have been in shockingham long enough to have to do feet inspection with my own kids before entering shopping centres....

Its the The end of civilization

Aberdeen? Seems pretty standard behaviour for the Scottish, can't tame the savages when it comes down to it ....

It is normal, we are in Australia

Bloody right, it's unfair that British shopkeepers can expect to continue the practice of leaving broken glass on the floor. And them spikes next to the counter will have to go too!

Fit in people, buy a dust pan and brush.

I agree, it is normal. Wearing shoes all the time is disgusting.

I guess living in Mandurah now I should start getting used to it!

But seriously.....why?? I just dont get it! Lol!

We Australians don't get the having to wear shoes all the time thing. We were at a 40th brunch a couple of weeks ago and the scores of kids were all running around the garden playing chasey etc. One of my kids ran up and had been bitten by an ant - told them they'd be right and to keep playing. This english party guest goes on to tell me how she can never understand why we Aussies let our kids take their shoes off because they get hurt. Imagine having to run around the backyard in your shoes all the time. It's how you grow up I guess. I do wear shoes when I go out, but never wear them at home. If the kids want to run into the supermarket with me and they don't have any shoes on, I don't care if it's our local.

Taken me a while to adjust to thongs, bare feet is beyond me too ...

Had a girl rock up for an interview last week in thongs.....

if that's the worst anyone can do, knock yourself out

i don't get this no shoes malarky. Its Australia, it's warm, everyone is chilled out, it's not illegal and no ones asking you to lick their feet

jeez she must have been cold. did she have anything else on

I guess it is what you've grown up with, I get bitten so often around my feet/ankles I find footwear helps ... took me a while to relax around the house here but that's 30 odd years of Britishness for ya

Currently posting clad in just a singlet

Cold??? It was 38 degrees in the shade ffs....

I actually do get the kids in the back garden thing, and on the beach just not anywhere else!!

as for lickin feet.....*spew*!!!! (cant find a puke icon!)
