I can't get a pair in size 11. I'd love to turn up at a job with some of the pretentious wankers that I have to deal with some of the time with a pair of them on, or the Bob the Builder ones with the wee flashing lights on the side like my son had.

I was going to buy my son a pair last year, I was told at the shop that they're really designed for Glastonbury and when they split, if they've been dirty you'll not get a refund!!!

Morgan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Remember to cut the string holding the boots together, otherwise you’ll fall over and do yourself a mischief.

Is that an autocorrect typo or another type of boot? The Goodyears - how big does the calf go to, d'you know? I'm fairly chunky in the calf department and have difficulty finding suitable wellies.
