Christmas Shopping
It's getting busier now, a lot of regulars are in from 'the fields' where the serious car booters find the big crowds in summer. A lot of: toys, ornaments, shoes with small wheels in the heels. What is the point of these? You can't skate in them. They might work if you held onto the back of a bike and lifted your toes up I suppose. Bought: 3 gilt picture frames, a Haynes manual for the Clio, a usb extension, an optical mouse, a pair of shoes with small wheels in the heels. These turn out to be rather like clogs, although styled like trainers: they're pretty rigid to hold the wheel fittings. Avoided: P4 chips for £12.
Subsequent enquiries among friend's children established that you *can* skate in these shoes if you kind of wedge your feet together at an angle and hold the toes up, but it's a rare skill.
