Hi folks, long time no post!

Some time ago, I bought myself a pair of "garden slippers": carpet
slipper- shaped footwear, made from the same rubber material, and
in
the same way, as Wellington boots. they're fantastic for keeping
by
the back door, to slip on for quick trips to deposit compost or
pick
vegetables or herbs.

I now want to purchase a pair as a gift for someone else, but the
garden centre from which I got mine was bulldozed and built over
many moons ago.

Can anyone suggest where I can get them, around Birmingham, by
mail
order, or on- line?

I don't want the moccasin type, with a low back, thanks.

I've seen them in B&Q

That's a global capitalist plot: cheaper and better to buy cheap
wellies and cut them to the precise shape you want with a Stanley
knife or some good scissors.
