is it true that refueling you car using you credit card is as dangerous as shopping for basketball shoes or any other product online? I have been avoiding shopping online as I though it was more dangerous but would like a second assurance before I begin shopping for products!

Re: What would you do. (last question about shoes, promise)?
I buy more online than otherwise.
I have had hundreds of troublefree ebay transactions, buy from various chandlers, even bought standing rigging on line. Getting a sail repaired where entire transaction so far has been on-line, and will close same way.
But there are traps. Most are avoided by using commonsense. Is that any different to dealing face to face? Are they all troublefree?
On shoes: my deck shoes - Ebay
My best shoes: online
My wellies: online
Most shoes in my cupboard - online
My current seaboots: bought in person at a chandler - failed in 3or 4 years!

some people tend to have soft or more fragile blood vessels in their feet they leading to the foot getting starved of blood. Rather than continue playing in this way visit you doctor and have the problem checked as it may lead to further complications at a later stage.

If you have have a favourite pair of shoes, do you wear them all the time, quite often, from time to time, or just for special occasions?

I'm having trouble thinking of anything sufficiently interesting or witty to persuade Nick to get rid of this Merkin shoe nonsense.
Could this become the forum's version of Private Eye's "Me and my spoon"?
