my first quick question about shoes
when shopping for kids shoes and other product online I come across shoes being sold at large discounts but I’m not sure if I should buy the shoes since I have also read that large discounts most probably mean imitation. Up to how much discount should I expect to get for genuine shoes?

How do you find the Mini Cooper S r56 goes to windward?

Interesting response - I think the cooper, for all its superior power and acceleration, is perfectly matched to windward by the Austin 7cpedw wrote:How do you find the Mini Cooper S r56 goes to windward?

Especially a soft top. Plenty of wind in the hair with the lid down.

This is Scotland, kids don't wear shoes to go sailing.

Re: my first quick question about shoes
My father said that, in the summer, they went shoeless to primary school in early 1920s Saltcoats. I remember my Grandma's response; "Tut, tut, you never did. Barefoot, indeed!"
She was the infant teacher at the same school.......

Before my time, old chap.
But I did enjoy listening to your record collection at Claymore Towers.
It must be difficult for sourcing the needles these days.
