How was my reply trolling? It would show the OP that perspiration was
the problem, not a leaky boot.


He didn't mean you! The troll is Mr Macaw.

Obviously, you weren't the troll. I am sorry if you think I meant
that you were.


No problem. Thanks for the clarification; I'd more than half suspected
as much. I don't know why the psittacine pest has taken an interest in
URG - he usually hangs around in uk.d-i-y.

I'm very sorry to say I replaced my Le Chameau pair after good service,
only to find that these are now manufactured in Morocco and are sadly
not the same quality. The price was of course unaltered.


I called in at the Le Chameau factory near Pont d'Ouilly two summers ago
hoping to get a new pair of wellies. The stock was very poor and I came
away with nothing. :-(


Indeed, I read after that they were acquired with the usual promises a
couple of years before the jobs were shipped south. What a shame to see
a local institution disappear.

State reasoning why you believe I'm a troll. You may use between 50 and 400 words.
