    my favourite pair, well, single sock is a Hong Kong Fuey one. It was a lonely single pair from Sainsbury's about 7 years ago, yellow stickered to 99p and left in a bargain bin. I rescued them and gave them a loving home.

    I'm not sure why I only have 1 now (another victim of the sock monster), but the 1 I have was mauled by my dog when he was a puppy, but even though it is past its best and has served me well I wouldn't put a good sock down.

    I just pair it up with the single Purple Ronnie sock I own.


    Ooooooooooooooh Meyore - YOU'VE got my tigger socks - I always wondered what happened to them!!!!

    I have a carrier bag full of odd black socks.

    Most of the matching socks are buried in the garden, thanks to my lovely dog. Why cant she bury the odd socks :confused:

    why thankyou SockMeister Steve!

    Have to confess, I do feel I'm a bit of a sockophobe.

    I've always hated seeing women wear ankle socks, trainers and a skirt. As a child, I used to detest being sent to school in ankle socks, shoes and a skirt. I felt as if my legs were shortened by the whole 'look'.:rotfl:

    Whenever I see the opening scene of Working Girl, I want to scream at Melanie Griffiths as she walks to work - get those bloody ankle socks off - wear the trainers, yes, but stop the whole sock thing!:eek:

    I want flourescent socks to come back into fashion, as they (ahem) were in the early 90's. I had one pair of yellow, one pair of green and one pair of orange. :D

    I also hate the sensation some cheaper pairs of socks give me - the kind that don't quite seem to have the heel bit sewn in the right place.

    Does my head in.
