@Kramer we will indeed be using the slow trains!

Net sales up when you’ve excluded the fishing department? How can that be?

Mine coped well with last week’s snow – dry comfortable feet after a couple of hour’s night ride in windblown whiteness. I don’t feel the cold too badly, so didn’t want an overly warm boot. Fine in general drizzle/puddle-bashing etc as well.

Only negative to my mind is the rather hard sole rubber; they don’t grip very well on wet surfaces, as I discovered when nearly going A over T in the pub (tiled floor) after aforementioned ride…
