I Took

[marval]

I took my boots to the cobbler.

I said “I want these soled please.”

I went back the next day, he gave me 10pounds.

He said “I have sold them for you.”

He sounds a bit of a brogue.

[Toorak]

What a heel - he needs a good tongue lashing

[tonyav]

Bet they don't last.

[Patsy33]

Good job you didn't ask for a couple of studs!

[Shaglene]

That touched the inner sole............

[Voltage]

i bet your tongue was hanging out!

[Arksided]

I talk cobblers sometimes but try not to put my foot in it.

I once heard of a young man who took his shoes to the cobbler's to be mended. That was in early 1914. Soon afterwards, the young man joined the army and went off to war. In 1918, the young man returned home, found the cobbler's receipt in his suit pocket, and went to the cobbler, who said, "They'll be ready on Thursday."
