What I was trying to say in the original posting... incoherently... the emphasis was upon the 'preaching'... But, I have little or no interest in shoes of the - shall we say - Edward Green type. Just give me a cheap moc or buck. So long as it's 'alien'.
Any truth in those stories about old money buying wingtips then never attending to them and buggering them all to hell, like Adlai Stevenson?
