The stories I am trying my best to remember, please correct me if you know better...
The wrong shoes........
Author Stewart McClean

Mr. Hanna the shoe mender in Regent Street suffered when Derek and his cohort Harry Thompson  went in to collect a pair of shoes "What were these shoes like" was the question that started a whole debate. Every shoe in the place was produced but still their particular pair had not been found. As a last chance Mr Hanna asked when they had left them in for repair, Derek thought about his answer, "Oh it must have been about 1950". They both made a quick exit from the shop.
Thanks to Stewart McClean for the reminder but as an additional.
Derek and Harry had one of those tape recorders with the built in microphone and speaker,. Derek had it down his trousers and recorded the entire conversation, we listened to it in Joes house and almost died laughing,.. pps. The shoes were said to be black and tan check,.... ppps. the language was terrible...
