Your Dad always got through a lot of expensive Clarkes school shoes. It was always the 'kicking foot' that wore out first. That was after about 195 yards too...
I will be going past the Clarkes Factory soon, so I shall have a word with their Fat Controller, to see if he can do anything about your shoddy footwear.
Hope the Clarks factory is still making shoes...last time i went it was shut down and all the shoes were being made abroad! Good luck Alan hope all goes well with the journey down to Lands End and the great walk up hill from Cornwall to Bristol. Hot, bath, home cooking and a clean bed await you in Alveston!Your dad would be proud of you...and yes Tom grandad was a really good egg, one of the best! Love Cuz Helenxx
