The Saga of the Dr Marten Boots

At Christmas I gave Robbie the money to buy some Dr Martens because I didn't feel able to choose on his behalf, I was bound to get it wrong. He enjoyed choosing and finally settled on some cherry red Chelsea boots, when they arrived they had very noticeable grease marks and machine marks on them and they had to be returned. He bought some from another shop instead and they had the same fault, so when he took them back the shop owner checked all the others of that colour and style and they all had the same fault. Since then he has been trying to decide what to buy instead, he has looked around and finally yesterday he found a limited edition pair that he really likes. They are a metallic dark grey colour with red trim, quite sober by Robbie's standards. He was very pleased with his boots but he was even more pleased with the Dr Martens carrier bag - he is just a big kid at heart!
