my memory of Scholls were shaped wooden flip flop sandals and the white wooden cloggs worn by clinical staff..

Foxglove Exactly the same memory as me. The pair my mother wore were a wooden sole with a single white or fawn colour adjustable leather strap.

Me too! A physiotherapist encouraged me to wear the wooden ones to help after breaking a leg twice in the late 1960s. Still waddle like a duck ... I can see Mr Poole (or his son?) and his equipment in the reflection.

derangedlemur Everything always looks nicer on the 25"!

Carol, so right. That poor neglected donkey, not that that ignorant peasant woman would know any different! People like her get to me.

I can't imagine the genteel folk riding on that (unfortunately) tatty beast. Given the chains and harness, does it seem more likely that the unfortunate work-horsedonkey was used to move the bathing machines to and fro?
