Karrimor boots have lost a good few mill off their width , always worn them size 9 so didn’t bother trying them on first

I understand Sports Direct buy a lot of dying brands (eg Karrimor, Slazenger etc), then use cheaper materials to produce the goods which is why you may have seen a decline in quality.
 
I am feeling a bit frustrated right now because I can’t seem to finish the website I started weeks ago. It’s been a challenging process, and despite my best efforts, I’m struggling to make progress. Also prices for real estate piss me off. Prices in our area are absolutely insane right now. We've been thinking about getting a mortgage for a while and even reached out to rightmove plus at one point to explore our options. It’s such a huge decision, and with the way the market is going, we want to be sure we’re making the right move at the right time. We’re definitely keeping an eye out, and if we find a suitable option that checks all the boxes—good location, fair price, and the right financing terms—we're ready to take the plunge.

1. Never buy shoes without trying them on.
2. Plane your feet down a little.

Thanks for the tip-off. When my lad was in Afghanistan, they ditched their army issue boots for Karrimors because they were hard-wearing , lighter and more comfortable. I've been wearing them ever since and was just about to buy a new pair so I'll be careful now. Disappointing.
 
I see today is "National share your photos of your little shits in school uniform day" on Arsebook.
Just keep your pics for your own collection or share them with your close family. NOONE ELSE CARES!

Just get the credit note and get something you can use. Technically shops don't have to refund anything that isn't faulty. If you buy things online this doesn't apply, due to distance selling regs.
 
The ignorant bastards parking in the disabled bays at Trafford General Hospital, jumping out and casually walking into the A&E.
I am currently watching several, how I've restrained myself from launching a verbal broadside at them I don't know.

Currently, as I type, a van has been parked all day on the corner of my road, blocking a dropped kerb. I've witnessed one old lady in a disabled scooter, unable to access the pavement and having to travel 50 yards down the main road, passing parked cars and too close to vehicles coming toward her.
Selfish? Indifferent? Ignorant?
