haha

flip flops are U

Stray, the flip-flop idea has already been done in Derby city centre on a Saturday night by some sort of rent-a-priest-mob. Don't know if it works. personally speaking I am in me bed by that time of night, and I never did look good in flip-flops
Julia in Derbyshire

i dont think so lol, im grown up enough to go out get watsed, and still find my way home, with my shoes on lol

i think its bleeding stupid! i mean were is the money coming from to fund this? and if people get in such a state the need "a boro angel" to help. well then thy shouldnt be let out lol

haha its not not is it boro angel lmaoooo

lol julia, well i go out in flip flops in the summer, but dressy sandle type ones,

i just think its rediculas, that people would need a service like this,

altho free lollipops dnt sound a bad idea haha

flip flops??? i can't walk in them when i'm sober, let alone when i've had a few lol

i would much rather have free parmos and kababs

now that would save me a fortune


looks down and laughs at strays flip flops

i never loose me shoes, lol

mam its ok will get some free blankets for you, i mean im sure they will help the aged, as well as the drunk

"falls of bed laughing"

KICKS Stray less of the aged

IF ITS SAVING LIVES I AM ALL FOR IT THEN

to lose a child is the saddest loss of ALL

i can remember coming out of the clubs in some states my self
when i was young and foolish

but i still dont think drink and flip flops go together

very very good point lynda, i never looked at it that way,

so maybe it is a good idea, see debates on here rnt all bad, somtimes thy make you see things differently,

and they will also see that people the worse for wear for drink (particularly young women) get safely into properly licensed taxi cabs. Whether we think it right or not, the reality is that people will go out and have far too much to drink, lose their high heels along with their common sense and so put themselves at risk. These volunteers (and they are just that - unpaid volunteers) are contributing to public safety, putting themselves at risk of abuse to ensure these people get home safely.
Don't knock it....

My OH's cousin died in the same way about 25 yrs ago.......walking home the canal route and never returning.

I also think it's a really good idea.xx

how many times do you see girls walking along holding their shoes because their feet are sore from dancing in high heels.

Would rather look stupid in flip flops than have cut up feet or even worse be stabbed in the foot by a thrown away dirty needle

last time i went to a club was my hen night and that over 22 years ago definitely got blotto that night they help me up down the stairs and told hubby shes not too bad as i fell into his arms, he had to walk me up and down the road outside our flat to sober me up a bit and spent all night on bathroom floor.

Oh they were the days lol
