They've recently "come back" for some reason. They were frequently worn on the wards despite such footwear being against NHS policy. Absolutely horrid things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather cut my feet off and eat them than be seen in a pair of Crocs but they are supposedly very comfortable. My female is talking about getting a pair as she works in care and is on her feet all day. As long as she leaves them at work them fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of my colleagues wear them and have said the are comfy (we're all carers). They're not for me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible, and they are comfortable. However, for someone with neuropathy, something protective for the feet is crucial inside the home, and Crocs (or a generic equivalent) do the job very well. I’ll live with the shame of wearing Crocs if it means my feet won’t rot off. Edited July 23, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Seems I was talking utter shite about Aberdeen chippers. I had from Haas once when I was pished so canna mind (it's also far from my house) and the Ashvale is, in fact, superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got fish and chips because that's what these places are famous for and it while it was nicely cooked and there was nothing 'wrong' with it, it made me feel ill for the next day. Just that volume of fried food isn't something I can really cope with anymore. Honestly have no idea how people eat like that all the time. The place on the main esplanade in Scarborough South Bay is absolutely crazy. They do three different sizes of Fish and Chips. The smallest is about the size of a typical supper you get in a chip shop here, but it gets more complicated than that. You get a mandatory side with it, either peas, saveloy, fritters or something, then it comes with a roll/bread, and then your choice of salt/vinegar etc. By the time you are finished it's enormous. We stupidly ordered the 'regular', which is the same thing but a larger portion of fish and chips, but still with the sides/rolls and so on. It was only £5, no far off the size of a typical pizza box, and I'm a big eater but couldn't get anywhere near finishing it. Missus opened hers and nearly burst into tears. Family of salad-dodgers in front of us ordered 7x 'Large'. The seagulls at that particular point of the drag are the size of Pterodactyls.

coprolite Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I've only been to Newcastle (on tyne) once and was baffled by the chip shop geordie lass barking "ba'uh?" at me when serving my chips. A local, non native resident kindly translated for me. It meant "as an accompaniment to your large and greasy portion of chips, would you like some bits of the old surplus batter that we've scooped out of the fryer?" Disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
