Was the sock procured from the official 'by appointment to the House of Windsor' sockmakers?

and how many readers recall Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and the sock it to me jokes?

The news story in itself is fairly unremarkable by Glasgow standards, but I was impressed by the picture:

Word Up!  Man atacked in Horley (hopefully he's OK)

One of the suspects was:

wearing a grey tracksuit with a green and cream cameo jacket
. No mention of a shiny red cod piece though.

I suspect the theft of the shoe was incidental, and intended to just be a bit of additional humiliation (thinking of him hobbling home) or to prevent him giving chase should he have been in any condition to do so.

He said when he first saw the rifle he thought it was pipework. “Then I thought ‘what’s pipework doing under floorboards’?”

What's wrong with that? Oh, you though because of the wheelchair pictogram it was for disabled people. But the notice says clearly it's a diabolical lift.  :demon:
