I wouldn't wear someone else's boots dead or alive.

Did she then offer for you to come in and dry your feet by her fire? I suspect an ulterior motive.

Where rubber boots crack, any rubber would just as easy.

For a walk along the swampy beach, together with our neighbor woman and our dogs, I was offered to wear a pair of rubber-boots (wellies) of her late husband.

The boots had been, for years, stored on a shelf, hardly worn. I checked them, they were my size and looked great.......... off we went into the swampy beach 

It wasn't long before I detected wet socks and noticed large cracks across the vamp of the boots. They weren't there when I inspected them !!

If I hadn't worn those boots, they would have had a much longer "shelf-live" 

 

Haha Endeavor what was that all about ? You do know that I'm the one with the random behaviour.  That story fits perfectly in the chat about anything section.

There's a lot of winking going on, am i in the right forum

Roland dont worry about it, it just prompted some silly humor. I say stupid stuff all the time, and tbh i can't see a problem with your post, certainly nothing to regret at all.

maybe that's the problem he wasn't expecting the discussion they go in the direction it went in.

I don't think it's his post that was the problem I think it was the stupid stuff that other people said was the problem.

It was John you are right but for some reason it sounds like Roland thinks he made a mistake telling that story. I for one apologise if i said something out of turn.
