Preperations for Remembrance Sunday

Hmmm might just pass muster. Next time smear the polish in those toes and sear it off with a candle flame. Then buff rigorously. Gives a brilliant shine....or so I'm told.

 

Hmmm, brings back memories of bulling my No 1 shoes for a parade. Yours, by the way, are nowhere near shiny enough.

 

Cheeky sods Ive only just started
this better

 

Better, but still a bit to go

 

BTW remove the shoelaces, which of course you will have done prior to polishing, wash them off with soapy water then rinse and immerse in a cup of cold tea ( no milk or sugar) overnight to renew the colour.

 

we used ta do ours on back of socks on one leg in shorts long socks lol

 

Yes but I bet you had short trousers on and a catapult in your back pocked

 

How come when I quoted your post the post came out different?

 

yep st marys boys , military headmaster

 

tommy cooper tawt me that one

 

Well! Spill the beans Mr Rubble

 

Oh, just thought, were you editing your post while I was quoting it?

 

i was just spilling my beanz then

 

For an ex serviceman i'd 've thought you could do better

 

enough for tonight:

 

I've got a friend that I meet down by the assault course that provides shoes and belt buckles already polished for a price.

I keep them in the roof space above my bed in a pillowcase.

If any of yours cloud just before muster you know where I am...

 

Go to 3:26

 

Indeed I can but these are new(ish) ie never been done before. Not getting too carried away as they will be trashed come Sunday lunch!
