Last Saturday at Mitchell buyers watched a stall being set up that had amongst the selling items 4 pairs of very respectable shoes size nine 2 pair of each colour black and brown! When the horn sounded two ladies rushed to the stall grabbing 2 pairs each asking how much are the shoes please “Oh yes” says the seller “they are in excellent condition only £4.00 a pair and by the way they are dead mans shoes, he died two week ago and he was wearing that pair when he died” as he pointed to the pair of Clarkes held aloft by one of the potential buyers who was flabbergasted at the thought that she was trying to buy her old man a pair of ‘dead man’s shoes’ that she dropped both pairs as instant as the other lady customer and they both quickly departed from the stall much to the amusement of a dealer who promptly bought all four pairs for fifteen quid’s! He commented “I don’t give a shit if they are ‘dead mans shoes’ or not, nobody is gonna know cos they are going on eBay when I get home” This is a TRUE story cos my Louise told me she had thought of buying them for me until she overheard the man say “they are dead man’s shoes”!!
