Something I've noticed - Charles
Why is it, on just about any journey, you see shoes deposited on roads!

Do they come off people on motorbikes or what?

The Forums thoughts please?!

I always assumed it was kids throwing other kids shoes out of the window of buses and that sort of thing.

Charles,

also seen are singular red rubber gloves, from tankers I presume...

several Hagley school ties round the lamp post in Romsley, so I reckon its school kids, except for the one rigger boot I saw come flying out of a Transit bus one morning.

I'd rather not comment on some of the items I've seen.

Well, maybe I can cast some light. One day my wife and I visited a distant(but cheap) Dealer looking for a pair of boots. What better way to spend a bike bound day. Anyway she bought a pair of new boots and chose to wear them for the trip home. Thus holding an old pair of shoes between me and her on the bike we rode home. Got home only to find that one of her old shoes had escaped en-route. It wasn't worth doubling back. Probably found by a pedestrian somewhere who "noticed" and wondered.

Whenever I see a lady's shoe or, even worse, a child's shoe on the hard shoulder of a motorway bounded by woods my overactive imagination goes into overdrive because I then wait in anticipation for news that a lady or child has been missing since the day before. Nervewracking.

No, you've all got it wrong.

This is the bloke who says to his girl "put your shoes on love, and I'll run you home" He meant run - and she threw her shoes at him.
