It's been a while since I've had a decent one... What type of meat pie was it ?

And yep - I do wear flip flops or go bare foot just to pop out and in (when flipping steaks over on the BBQ for example)

When visiting I'll take my shoes off when I enter the house but don't take anything with me.

Well you should realise by now. Pay attention .

Flip flops in freezing temps, crazy. Actually i think flip flops are crazy in general, how the chuff do you walk with that thong thing between your toes, it's bloody agony. I am so not a flip flop person.

They aren't flip flops as such. More of a one strap across the top sandle style.

Not a big fan of the bit between the toes either.

I thought at first this might a nice informative thread but I now feel a little disturbed. :(

Do yo think you can take a pair of slippers back to the shop if you've worn them a bit?

Instead of slippers I've been wearing the ivory basketweave loafers I bought for drinking at the Hungarian club.

Ha, very funny. No I haven't bought any slippers yet, I was thinking I might give them a test drive so to speak to see if I feel comfortable in them and if not, I was hoping I could return them and get my money back.

Just take your iPad and a few beers to the shoe shop and settle down to watch the football while you're trying them out.

My slippers have now gone baggy and they displease me. My dressing gown is like the one Basil Rathbone wore in the Sherlock Holmes films. It has piping.
