Long night of the sole

Is it all over for leather-soled shoes?

I’m starting to think so. It’s raining as usual in Dorset, there is water everywhere, and because for some reason I like leather-soled shoes, my feet are cold and damp yet again. I'm fed up with it now.

Perhaps I need some nice stick-on rubber soles. They've got them at Wellworths…

It has just occurred to me that this must be why galoshes (I think that's what they were called) were invented. Anyone know if you can still source those anywhere?

Is this a joke, sonny?

WTF? LOL!

That’s what the lucky winner here is saying to the nice young man from marketing, who possibly should have devoted a bit more time to the question of how the lucky winner was supposed to get the vouchers into his jacket pocket for the bus trip to Boots.
