With the appalling painting puns here, somebody needs to get their undercoat....

And a concrete overcoat?

Now I think about it - me neither

WHen I was younger my Mum told me many times that my Gtrandad (who she worshipped) "said something rude" when he saw men wearing brown shoes with a blue/grey suit
It has stuck with me and I just don't do it

Mind you - when I retired it was sort of by accident and I was in mid shoe territory
By which I mean - as a teacher at the time I needed comfy shoes - and Clarks were the best by far
but they were expensive. Hene when I was getting to the point where I was half way through a pair I would keep an eye out for a sale at the local Clarks shop
If they had one I would nip in and look for the right ones - there was a specific model and I knew many male teachers who only wore that specific model.
Sale prices were often less than half the full price if you got the tactics right

I also had a pair of smart shoes for going out and stuff
and - we were about to get married and the smart ones were getting a bit worn so I got some new smart ones

So I ended up with 4 pairs of black shoes

but now I hardly ever wear a suit - except christenings, funerals and wedding - which are rather few and far between!

so they don'e get worn much and I tend to look for reasons to wear them

so I would never need to buy smart brown ones - in fact I have banned myself from even looking at new smart shoes!

Also my grandmother always said you should not trust a man with bits of gold chain or chain on his shoes.

Where did @Fab Foodie go? He seems to have varnished into thin air!
