Yes, the good old SV boot, made to last and never let you down. Had the same pair for years.

Can't remember which unit I was in at the time but some bright spark had a small rubber stamp made up which was the imprint of the sole of the boot.

This appeared everywhere, on DRO's, Standing Orders ...

I've been watching that PTI for about ten minutes now and he has done about 300 or so.

That's what I call fit.

Jesus H Christ, Artist. You moan about people leaving this site ! Somebody has disagreed with you and your off on your rocking horse again. It was no competition, just a simple "is it" or "isn't it". No big deal.
