Just got back from Scats in the town. While I was there I saw a guy hand over £185 :shock: :shock: for a pair of green wellies. Is it me or what? - Rob

That's not his padded green waistcoat. That's his wallet.

I was just behind this bloke paying for his wellies...the fella behind the till said that if he went up to the 'smoke' in some posh wellie shop he would have to part with about £300 for the same thing :shock: :shock: - Rob

Must have been the same guy I saw last Saturday down our local Farmers Market, sorting through the free (recyled) plastic bags for a Waitrose One rather than Tesco's to carry his purchases back to the car. I kid you not!
And what's wrong with green wellies and Waitrose? :shock: :shock:

its a question of prioritys really
take a look at these boots here
http://www.grovelands.com/acatalog/Hunt ... llies.html
it all depends where your prioritys lye . these are the cheaper end of the market by comparison , it also depends on your financial status and usage .
if your wearing them all day everday and can afford them , WHY NOT
there must have been a bit more to it than just a pair of green wellies

Yes, but green wellies are currently a fashion statement in *Tokyo*. You'd have to get on a train and leave town if you wanted to get them muddy! I've seen women wearing the aforementioned padded jacket things with them too. They're just a statement. There's even a store called Labrador Retriever that's not just for people who have dogs - it's for people who want to give out some kind of dog-owning, slightly countryfied aura. All I can say is, townies are strange:

Indeed.
Did you check out the doggie clothes? Very... countryside.

(There's a woman in my neighbourhood who has an 'ickle poodle with it's ears dyed purple, same colour as her own hair. I can only imagine what Terry Pratchett's Gaspode would make of it).

Speaking as a country bumpkin who spends half of his non-working waking hours in wellies, I can tell you that they have two distinct snags when worn for a long time:-
1) Your feet get freezing cold.
2) Your feet get very sweaty
If you ar unlucky, then 1) and 2) happen at the same time.
For £185 the guy must have been buying some posh leather lined wellies, which keep your feet nice and warm, without making them smell like something that died a week ago.
Personally, I just buy them a size too big and wear 2 pairs of socks - almost as good, and about £180 less expensive!
