There seem to be regional names for the same thing sometimes. In Hampshire I wore Plimsolls for P.E.lessons whereas my Welsh cousins called them Daps.When I worked in a school the children called them Pumps. |

This is the third time around for winkle pickers . My mum wore them in the 60's, myself early 80's and now they are back. We had pork pie shoes - the ones with the big rounded toes? Wedgies - which I had in the 70's were quickly called BOATS by my father lol - now my hubby says it to our daughter - bless> Much happiness Debi |
