I think the key statement on the pack is "perfect with beer" lots of beer![]()
Do you dunk them, like biscuits in tea?

... and it took until 3:35 but the sun did come out! At 3:37 it went back in again.Was raining here but the sky has become noticeably lighter in the last few minutes. I expect the sun to break through at some point in the not too distant future.![]()
The last pair of DM's i bought was about 30 years ago. I found the leather to be a bit cardboard(ish) then,but the ones i've felt lately(in shops,not while someone's wearing themStill have a pair, however they have never broken in properly like the last pair I had, they are only worn once in a while as i cant make them comfortable, they appear to be painted leather, not the original dyed
My previous pair were bought about 30 years ago were very good, the latest pair about 15 years old are quite cardboardish, I had to wait a while for both pairs as DM only tooled up for up to size 11's and as i needed 14's had to wait until they had a line free to make a run of normal mens sizeThe last pair of DM's i bought was about 30 years ago. I found the leather to be a bit cardboard(ish) then,but the ones i've felt lately(in shops,not while someone's wearing them) feel even more cardboard leather(ish) now. I've gone up in the world lately,so i'm into Loake boots now!

On about DM's,i just hate it when i see folk wearing them all scuffed at the toe and crying out to be polished and buffed up!Is it considered to be fashionable now to wear scruffy,unpolished footwear?
When i buy new shoes i wear them a few times to loosen up the leather.Then i polish,brush and buff them up with a soft cloth about 3 times,before their next outing. I missed my way in life. I should've been one of those 'shoe shine boys' you used to see outside railway stations,hotels etc.
Watch this folks,it's sooo entertaining!!
Or people like me who don't clean them or any possession for that matter, the car gets washed when it rains & the bike gets washed when it goes through puddlesI think the scuffed toes originated with skinheads wearing steel toe-capped DMs. They'd get the steel to show. Perhaps it's an echo of that.
Right, time to sit down with aand a biskit.
Curry night here tonight; sweet potato, parsnip and butterbean tikka masala, bulgur wheat, mint yoghurt and poppadoms. Get your orders in, the trebuchet gets fired up at 7:30 pm.
