First pair of white trainer I've had I think. 

There's a Skechers outlet fairly close and I got them a couple of months back along with another pair. Those were both from the discontinued section at big discounts off their (supposed) earlier prices. They both knocked spots off the Skechers ones I already have but maybe because I've walked those out. The older ones could probably be fixed up with new insoles but I've never had much luck doing that as they always seem to slip so I'll probably bin them - not sure if they should go in the clothes bank as they don't look bad but I don't find them as comfortable as the new ones.

Anyway today I went and got another couple of pairs as I like to rotate them plus there's an extra 30% off the cheaper of the pair. I couldn't find any I liked in my size in the discontinued this time but they all seem to beat local shoe shops and there is a wide range obviously. One of the new ones had a label saying machine washable so that lead to my question.

Yes, I only buy white trainers, I bung them in the washing machine on their own to wash at 40 degrees. Then they go out on the window sill in the sun to dry. Been doing it for over 40 years.

Please

Now that's just going to have Mups worried again..

There's all sorts of stuff about stuffing them with paper while they are drying so they retain their shape too. The reason I'm bothered is because they are fairly new and my most comfortable trainers for walking so I don't want to mess them up. I'd rather have dirty trainers than destroyed trainers.

Worth remembering that Lineham isn't even a British National,.  he's Irish.

As it is turning cooler, the spiders will be making their way indoors for shelter and warmth.

I actually had a ginormous one in my bedroom last night,  big as an Octopus it was.   
Alright,  slight exaggeration,  but it was a whopper,  one of those big black ones with thick legs.
I can't sleep knowing one is in the room,  so I had to go get my spider catcher and chuck it outside.

So beware!     

Arghhh...
there was one on our bedroom last night too 
But we couldn't be @rsed to remove it .......its gone this morning .....somewhere 

Yes that's about right .
I always wear Skechers trainers and that is what I do ( except putting them in a bag )

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 02:17:27 PMThe explanation for the 5 armed police officers is this took place at an airport where officers are always armed. These cops were already there and told to escort a ' wanted' person off a plane. .  Still OTT of course.

A wanted person.  Wanted for tweeting some words which seem to have upset someone, presumably someone in authority?
I remember when we had the right of freedom of speech.  Of course, under TwoTier Starmer, we are beginning to morph into North Korea.

Having ascertained the situation, three of them should have buggered off and found something more useful to do.
