Noggin, you have made me laugh till my eyes watered.
last year in america we kept seeing people with those sawn off wellys on their feet and thought what the....
back home a few friends said they had got some, why

I said they look hideous.
one day while OH was working I was doing some girlie shopping and tried a pair on for a laugh......totally converted. They may look daft, but the look is growing on me
I have now got my husband into a pair and even though he thinks they are ugly...he is wearing them despite being ribbed at work for them.
hugs la x
