Top Tip
Top Tip;
This is a common problem which can affect men of all ages.
You go to your sock drawer in the morning and select a pair of socks for the day.
When putting on the first sock you become aware of your big toe protruding through a hole.
Gentlemen do not despair, this is not the calamity it may at first appear.
Remove the sock and put it on the other foot.
The hole is now in a different position allowing you to continue with your activities.
Not many people know this.

John, I gave up wearing socks about ten years ago, I like to feel my toes move about and for 9 months of the year only wear open toe sandals.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Top Tip
I don’t wear them either John usually ,mainly because of having to get someone to help. However in the winter due to this talk about climate change my feet feel cold In The winter . it’s all in the mind you know ? I bet you walk around unshod as well , you must have feet like tanned leather. I asked my podiatrist about people like you, and although he didn’t like talking about it , he said he was always peeling the hard soles of their feet , after washing them first of course. Does your wife still play footsie with you ? Cheers JS
