Right. What have I forgotten: Too late - Slippers: Really?

I Googled Flandal

It's a thing

More accurately - i Googled Flandals (in the plural)

I was gonna say....

The residents lounge of the establishment I stayed in was split with a great number of silent abstentions who were probably secret sock and sandal/flip flop wearers.

So..........................What did you forget then (obviously not socks I see)

Nothing! Took too much food, didn't need to take the arm and leg warmers or the buff.

It also turns out I had too much with me in the delivered bags, including some very odd stuff like winter skiing gloves and a pair of shoes I haven't worn for many years. Luckily i only had to lug that bag and the rucksack 15 miles back on the bike on Sunday. Note to self, don't pack in a hurry.

These were absolutely shoot by the way, just in case anyone is tempted to buy one. Save your money and drink muddy water instead.

I believe they already sell it as 'bitter' for you northern types.

He wore them with socks. The finer details are irrelevant.

That's a problem?

erm, to my mind, sandals have a rear strap hence the flipflop/sandal hybrid.

none of this makes that combo acceptable though

Now look, I'm getting rather cross now

Flip Flops can always be identified by the thongy thing between the big and second toe. If it doesn't have this it can't be a flip flop and therefore must be a sandal (I won't even lower myself to consider a "flandal" which sounds like an Austrian dessert you might see on GBBO)

Confusingly, sandals can either have or not have the thongy thing. But one thing's for sure, flip flops must have them. End of.

I wholeheartedly agree with the flip flop description but cant bring myself to call those things in that picture a sandal, are they not a sling back type affair - ill leave that to someone else to come up with a hybrid name on that.

and don't get me started with socks and flip flops...........

I knew I had a pair somewhere.....

Now these say "sandal" to me, without the sling back thingy. To my mind there's flip flops, shoes and sandals. If it isn't a flip flop or shoe, it must, by default, be a sandal

I'm really not sure what to say about that.

Yikes comes to mind.
