Things you have missed out on which everyone else seems to have done.

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

You were sitting primed with that one, right?

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.

And a concrete overcoat?

On anyone who starts a pun run.

You have wasted your life

The only ones I clearly recall seeing were in large jars on the bar of a pub.
I used to think...."why"?
Why get a nice boiled egg and destroy it in vinegar ?

😲🐰The rabbit is out of the box on that one.

Never had a pickled egg.
Never tried peanut butter.
Used to watch Coronation St in the early days (with Ena etc) but have never (to my knowledge) watched any other soap.
Never owned a cat or dog (had a fish tank for many years).

Just the tank, no fish?

Just the tank, no fish?

I had 3 plastic ducks floating in it, does that count??

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

Maybe he kept the dog in it.

Or the cat.

Don't be silly, cats don't like water.

He never mentioned water!

Maybe he's just lacquered.
