A self-submission from a reader across the pond. Thanks for reading, bloke.

“I am one who wears my slippers to work every day (I work in an office). I am male, late 40 years of age, from London, UK. I prefer the “traditional” type of slippers with elasticated gussets; I have even enclosed a photo of my current pair, which are made of soft black corduroy. They are very comfy, cheap, I like the look of them, and well, they are… different! I do get the odd bemused comment from time to time, but I don’t care really. As long as they are clean and in good condition, I’ll carry on wearing them; when they wear out I’ll buy a new pair.”
