Looks like Susan Sandal missed out again.

adamcsharp.bsky.social•80 days ago

All jokes aside, if you ask anyone in the shoe business about Peter Foot and Terry Boot they'll tell you they are absolute leg-ends

cuppacoffee.bsky.social•80 days ago

Insiders say Boot was a shoo-in.

I heard other names were considered, but Terry was a shoo-in.*

(*correct spelling, I just found out)

A man replaced by a man. What about Susan Heel? Her time has come surely.

Apparently, the Natural History museum in London once had a Curator of Invertebrates called Dr. Wrigley...

If you drink Guinness, do I call that "Adam Sharp drinking from a harp?"

dazbert.bsky.social•74 days ago

Let's hope he's more instep with the board...

whimbrel810.bsky.social•79 days ago

“Heel” do a good job no doubt

dazbert.bsky.social•74 days ago

Underrated reply.
