Boot problems

Day by day I wear a pair of black R.M. Williams boots. But weekends usually see me in my Blundstones- unless it's a special occassion, in which case I'll often pull on my Roccos.
I got my first pair of Blunnies when I was about 15, while working in a foundry over the summer. They were ugly steel capped things, but light on the feet and served me well for years. I've managed to get through half a dozen pairs since then, with the current ones nearly ready to retire.
And while I don't want to get all political here, the news that Blundstone are moving production overseas really pisses me off. And what are they going to export from Tasmania now? Chocolate in wooden boxes? God knows their beer is crap...
