I gave up after question 5 asked me what shoes I would 'were' if going out. If the quizmaster can't even get that right, I'm not entirely sure I'd trust their definition of posh anyway.

You don't know what Converse is....., where did you live in the UK?

I had no idea they were a " brand"
Same question to Zoe Bell



Or if you want to go more fancier



fanciest



As for "posh shoes"

Fellas...you can't go wrong with Brogues, that is what I wear

Surely it's more to do with the company you keep or where you shop rather than where you live?

Still not entirely sure, they appear to be a brand of baseball shoes.

That's my understanding too, so WTF are "trainers"?

I couldn't make head nor tail of the question about schools either.

I've been away too long. (Or not long enough).

Exactly. Tennis shoes. Why does it matter if you're not going to play tennis or not going to play basketball.

So...if that is the case, if you drop something, how do you bend down to pick it up?

Nothing to do with Baseball....Dennis Rodman (chicago bulls, Jordan era), and well as Larry Bird (Boston Celtics) wore Converse in the NBA.

Personally, I am not into trainers as an everyday shoes. I only wear such things when I am running (running shoes).

I can't stand jeans either...despise them really. I think people have got lazy and just use them as an excuse by just changing their shirts/tops only in a stretch of a week or two...

I once played squash in Graham Chapman's Dunlop tennis shoes, they were much too big for me. And he was dead already, so not that sort of thing at all.

Eh? Who's Graham Chapman? And who was dead, your opponent?

BTW I used to play squash as well. I forget what footwear I used but I don't think it was Doc Martin's.

Something along those lines. Trainers, or possibly basketball shoes. Who cares?

I've never played squash. Seems a lot of effort for not much reward. Maybe it's all about the shoes?
