You start with a shoe shape without a heel — a plain pump, strappy sandal or ankle boot, say, which will set you back between £260 and £370 (this is not a cheap exercise, but if they really do what they say on the tin then I’m prepared to invest).
Then you get to choose from the range of four heels: stiletto (Francois, 3½ in, long and slender); chunky high (Denis, 3¹∕³ in, but gratifyingly sturdy); kitten (Stephane, 2¹∕³ in and prettily curved); and chunky low (Christophe, 1½ in, which look like the heels the Queen wears).
These cost between £21 and £50 per pair, come in a huge range of colours and finishes and fit each and every one of the shoes, slotting into place easily and securely in an instant.
I think there was a similar thing in the 1940's but less elaborate where you could change the heel by putting a block over them and you could get a bow to add for the evenings
I cant find anything on the internet about it but I did see it in an episode of Foyles War (so it must be true) LOL
Can someone explain the numbers? "24 was here" and "30 says" etc, my gùess is it's chìldren but on other places like Mumsnet you get "d" this (daughter?) and other abbreviations I don't fathom.
Yes, the numbers do refer to children - it's different (cos we are ground breakers on this forum!) and a way of distinguishing between more than one "d" or "s".
Then, of course, there's DS or DD, Baby Tinks, The Coglet and Young Y.
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Im sure I remember @incognito referring to Young Coglet as the brat in a place far far away
