Can I just say that this thread is as good as the recent one by Markf and his awkward situation.
All we are missing now is the male garter and sandals,
Good job @Crackle. You've managed to turn a perfectly innocent request for help into a divisive argument.
I'm just waiting for the Spd flip flops to make an appearance and we've got the full set.

I am starting to feel the tide of public opinion going against me on this one. However, in mitigation, this was a one off (honest officer) situation of a chilly bike ride (hence socks) with significant standing around bits (hence the non--cycling footwear)
I suppose I could have taken the socks off but I would have still been caught by the "no long trousers with flipflops/sandals" rule

I'm not so sure...
Those are practically "shoes". There's so little exposed foot I think it's a struggle to call them sandals. So now we're into the thorny issue of shoes with no socks. My view on this is that this is just about acceptable when in Mediterranean areas and the temperature is above 30 degrees. Otherwise it's as bad as socks with sandals
Sandals on steroids, dreamt up by marketing men. Too big to slip into panniers, too elegant to get truly dirty and not really sturdy enough for anything but catching the train. I fear you've been conned.
Surely this applies to everything one owns?
You still take an ownership approach to ones domestic staff then?
