I followed that 'tip' of yours last year Jonesey and bought two packs, each containing 6 pairs of plain black socks - that way, I clevery thought that I wouldn't have to spend ages teaming them up when I washed them.

Unfortunately, when you are not wearing them, they all look identical, same stitching at the top etc and same length, BUT, when you put them on, it would appear that one pack must have been slightly shorter than the other as it is only noticeable when you put them on that one sock is about an inch longer than the other.

I now have 12 pairs of socks, each with one long one and one short one and occasionally I get it right and they both match up :-D :-D :-S

I just hope I never get 'run over' !

P.S. Renes - I think you will discover that you have at sometime in the past searched for or looked at some kind of slimming product or diet details on line?

When you do this it leaves a cookie thingie and so you get all the adverts on various pages linking in with what you have looked at.

Before Christmas I was looking at scooters for my grand-daughter's present and since then I get all sorts of adverts etc relating to them.

It happens with everything I search for.

Dea,

Socks are interchangeable and I find that having a hole in them is most useful as without a hole you would never be able to get your foot inside. Having more than one hole in a sock however can be a disadvantage as this can lead to draughty feet and your toes often fall out of the sock at the opposite end of the sock from where your leg is inserted.

A tip if you wish to avoid having your toes fall out of your socks is either remember to cut your toenails at regular intervals or to give up wearing socks altogether which offers a permanent solution to the problem.

Another tip is to never just buy only one pair of identical socks. If you buy two pairs of identical socks then even if a hole appears in one of the socks you still have two pairs of serviceable unholy socks left to wear whenever you feel the need. How good is that?

Finally always remember that only dirty people have a wash.

Hi all,

I wonder if you could help me with a bit of a mystery please?

I have only one pair of black socks with blue toes and heels and the last time I had them on I noticed a small hole near the top of the right sock.

I meant to throw them away but forgot and put them into the wash.

This morning I put this same pair of socks on and the right one was perfect but when I put on the left one there was a small hole in it !!! :-S :-S

I am sure they must be the same pair but it just doesn't add up!

Can anyone help please? :-S
