HELP.......Unusual request?

Mayfield

Burbury Brummie
I know this request may sound strange to most of this forum but I am hoping that there is an old Skin Head out there???? Does anyone have a pair of old skin head boots (size 8/9) that they can loan me because this sad bald headed person is going to a fancy dress party as a Skin Head (for those that know me this took a lot of imagination)? :rolleyes:

I am looking for either knee high Doc Martins or Monkey Boots if anyone has them hiding in their loft? If not, can anyone point me in the direction of a fancy dress shop that would stock this type of antiquated footware? Mabz :)

How far are you willing to travel Keith as there are a couple of fancy dress shops I know of?. One at Castle Bromwich and the other on the Slade road. Jean.
 
There is a good fancy dress shop in Lichfield. 3 Windsor Court Trent Valley Road. 01543 257225.
 
Monkey Boots - just hearing them words took me back to when I was 15 - I had a pair and loved them so much I drew them for my art exam -in bright orange pastels - mine were only size 5 - now you've got me wondering what happened to them?????? Hope you find some
 
Keith you old son of a gun.....i think you will make a good Alf Garnet:D:D:D

You Old Mate Mau-reece
 
Mayfield, if you can squeeze into a size 7 you can borrow mine !!!! I had a pair for my 50th birthday last year, theyre great for work !!!!!
 
I knew that I could rely on you guys for help. Thanks everyone, I will be contacting a fancy dress shop this week. If successful - photographs will be posted of me stomping again......... Mabz :cool:

Just to remind you all of the summer of 1971..................
