These boots...

This morning's discourse...

The present Mr A: Are you walking to the village in them?

Me: No. I'm putting my wellies on over them - of course I'm walking to the ruddy village in them...!

The present Mr A: Do you want to take the car?

Me: Nope.

Awkward silence

Me: You don't like my new boots then...?

The present Mr A: No. Sorry, I mean yes, yes I do - but maybe they're the sort of thing to wear in town...?

Frosty silence...
