I was riding shotgun in a big truck on my way to an Italian rave for NYE 1999/2000 wearing my new favourite metallic blue snakeskin effect platform boots I’d got for the bargain price of £20 in a boutique shoe shop having a closing down sale, at some point I took my boots off to put my feet on the dash and at some other point the door was opened and one of my precious boots was lost.
I had to borrow some trainers for the duration of the trip, though I continued to wear one of my platform boots with one trainer. I kept hold of it for ages but eventually threw it away cos it made me sad I didn’t have the other one.
