School jumper with school logo
School polo shirt
School trousers
School shoes / plain black canvas pumps

    I'd rather go without food for a week than send my kid to school in pumps.

    Just saying...

    It's really good that you're back on uniform, but it's still a disturbing and unhealthy fixation. You really need to get help with whatever's causing this.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Tell me the old, old story ..........

    But who on earth gets his/her rocks off on Primart pumps and fake uggs?

    The mind boggles.

    £25,999. They are slightly unusual in that they walk him to school themselves, with the built in GPS ensuring the fastest route. It can be awkward when he goes through nearby gardens, but happily they are fitted with a motion sensor designed to kick potential attackers once they come within a dangerous range.


    They're also scuff proof.

    Were these from Primark?
    I can offer no resistance, I can offer no respite
    Wake me when conflict is over,
    I aim for a peaceful life,
    Wake me up when the fury is ended
    I like living a peaceful life

    These are no ordinary school shoes. These are M&S school shoes.
