Prunella Minge	It could be the first line of an English blues song. "Just bought a pair of slippers...' (da-dum-da-da).
veritas	next you will be telling us you got a new pipe and getting Meals on Wheels delivered !
Tipsheet2002	I swear by Uggs slippers they last a long time and wear well. They cost about $100 U.S. but I wouldn't wear anything else...
Marcus	I've been quite quiet on here lately due to a busy period, but I couldn't miss the chance to comment on one of life's great frustrations- SLIPPERS. All too often, I buy a cheap pair worth about £10. They feel great when I first buy them- soft and fluffy on the outside, warm and snug on the inside with deep, thick padding. My joy is usually short lived. Within a few days (and I mean DAYS not WEEKS), the comfort of the inside has been worn down to little more than a piece of thin cardboard. Within a month, they're nearly always falling apart. The process usually begins with a 'big toe' hole and it's downhill from there really. Despite a lifetime (in my case, 26 years) of disappointment with slippers, I can't say I'm quite ready to part with £200 for a pair just yet.
Prunella Minge	Apparently there was a Jonathan King of Islington who made quite a name for himself during the Victorian era as a high class maker of Valentine cards. The collection was put on exhibition in London Museum in 1937 by Jonathan's son, Mr A. Ashford King. I bet THAT Jonathan wore soft leather slippers and a smoking jacket and, quite possibly, pince-nez.
