I agree with all except:

I enjoy the ballparks. Traffic and expensive beer is just part of it all. I do not buy the expensive beer personally. :DL

I've never paid $200 for a pair of sneakers in my life and have no intention of ever doing so :03:

....Later in the hot summer heat, would you like to pay for things like this,:|\\

No such thing in the north east of UK

I can get a full thee piece suit for $200, nuff said.

You never know, global warming also affects Newcastle-upon-Tyne, :DL

I'm with you on that Jim. $29.99 is about as high as I go. Cutting grass and other things I do in my sneakers has them ruined in a few month or so.

sneakers are cheaply here, you get a pair for 20-25 bucks

For $200 I'd expect a share certificate in the manufacturers business :DL

Same in the US but put a basketball players name on a pair and they are now being sold at $200.00!

Name and brand, it costs, :yep:

Not trainers, but I have spent £200 on a pair of shoes before. They rocked. nicest shoes I ever had. Mind you, was horrified when I recently discovered you couldn't get a pair of Chuck Taylor Allstars for a tenner anymore.

Also happy to spend on going to the football, on decent jeans and on smokes for when I'm drinking even though I have 'officially stopped.'

'Mail order meat' sounds like a euphemism...just sayin'.

"Fog on the Tyne" I got the picture, :DL
