> he would not have given us feet

Once upon a time, in the bar at Uni, one of the group showed us his new hand-stitched sandals, which used old car-tyre tread for sole and heel because of its hard-wearing properties. Then someone noted there was less than 3mm of tread, which would make it illegal for him to cross the road. Discussion ensued on whether he might get arrested for being drunk in charge of feet, and banned from walking for three months.
