bless em

Beggars belief?

No...not really....like rats you're probably never more than 20ft from the truly stupid.

......but the rats may well be cleverer.

I can't see the problem. I mean, Ernest Shackleton got a whole ship full of people stuck on South Georgia that had to be rescued and he becomes a national hero...

Hopefully this will stick OMers in a perpetual loop where they are unable to escape the 'Beggars belief/Daft people on Snowdon' vortex...

"It's idiots like that who give travelling the universe dressed in pyjamas a bad name!"

Don't panic.

Thats nowt in the next town to me they take their kids to school in PJ's and Ugg boots..

Nah just nicking Lead from roofs ....

I have to see these mothers doing the school run when im driving through taking my lad outta town to school,sad to see!!!

I take it, given you can see their Ugg boots that they're saving the planet by walking their kids to school.......while you're pumping out CO2 on the school run.

Diddy....get some Ugg boots....and a green tent.

WTF are Ugg boots???

Anyway, next hill I go up I'll walk it dressed like Arthur Dent - striped pyjamas, chequered dressing gown, soft slippers. Maybe a cravat too? Or would that be overdoing it?

Sorry, what was the topic?

Ugg boots are a special type of boot made in a tiny Chesterfield workshop the traditional way, by a guy named Robert Ugg.

They are very expensive and exclusive, the priveleged who can afford them aren't allowed to wear them in the usual boot way, you have to do this sort of crazy walk where you mostly walk on the side of them as this helps them collapse into the intended correct position that shouts wealth to the under classes, they aren't at all as silly as they may first appear.

You can also get "snides" on Ebay for about 4 squillion quid.

Include a little history in your walks. Pecsaetan - Ancient Derbyshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire - http://pecsaetan.weebly.com/

IIRC, you also have to buy a 'special' waterproofing spray to apply.

 Otherwise they fall apart at the first smell of water. Shame..........
