I'd happily go back to the 70's, life was much simpler then. Thanks again, Kind regards Miles Buster,

It seems like we were high all the time. I remember that in the 70's we always had to eat at a little place called Kutchie's restaurant. You could get one-hell-of-a huge steak sandwich for about three dollars or a good good goody cheese burger for around two dollars, and a huge glass of budweiser for about 69 cents. Key lime pie that would bring tears too your eyes as it put a big smile on your face. "WOW Man", what a trip that place was. After school we moved to the west coast but we still long for Kutchie's restaurant and that great food. Those sandwiches were like food on steroids. The 70's really were really a "Gas", what a "Hoot"!!! I guess you really can't go home again, at least not back too the 70's. ....Buster Davis “WOW Man”,…the 70’s, what a trip!!!

As you so rightly point out they must be worn with confidence and grace. In my humble opinion a woman's wardrobe should contain flat pumps, heels, boots and a good set of wellies - got to be gorgeous though. Forgot to mention bejewelled flip-flops, trainers and for all the Ray Mears followers out there, a pair of walking shoes with matching backpack and pithhelmet - I wear mine at all times! There are two sirens here, one for flood and one to signal the arrival of Mr Mears ... so as the waters were rising, there I stood in my pithhelmet ... drat and double drat thought I :) Cid Miles,

I saw a woman attempting to walk in a pair yesterday and looked nothing short of comical. They must be so uncomfortable-is it worth the effort? Miles (in blissful ignorance) Cid,

You should have seen my face when the shoes came out, 4/5 inch leopard print heels... "just pop these on, they're being featured in Cosmo mag this month", they said, "it'll bring the whole outfit together". So I said, "I couldn't possibly walk in them", so they said, "but they look sexy and sassy and the men will love them and how tall and willowy you look".... "I'll take them in every colour please and the corset that matches" :) Seriously though, it'd be like working in a chocolate shop and might curb my tendency to eat the high calorie stuff. Do I have the time? Probably not but it was great being asked so I might go and help out from time to time just for the coffee and high drama! Cid Elsie,

It is in stark contrast to mine (see new post) Next week sees six and a half days out of seven in the kitchen so I needed some fresh air and inspiration before tackling it. Good luck with the job (if you take it) Miles Cid,

Apart from the obvious wealth that flows in (if I've got £100 I feel rich) I think it's that I appreciate my free time more. Today for instance I strolled around the corner to replenish my vase of lillies which cost only £4 ... then waltzed into a local boutique, two hours later I had judged two ball gowns on someone else, downed a cup of coffee while I heard the amazing life story of a woman I'd never met before, saw a pair of tattooed eyebrows and for the first time in my life, was dressed from top to toe by the owner (she obviously felt it was high time I stopped this naturist thing :) ). It was a bit of a revelation so I bought the outfit in more or less its entirety ... now as if that wasn't enough and bear in mind I had originally set out for groceries ... was offered a job! It's time for tiffin so that's all for now ... who can say what might happen next, the day is young etc. Cid Miles,
