      If they leak then the answer is obvious, ...dont wear them out if its wet.
      Either that or get a puncture repair outfit.

          In my time "M" , I struggled to make ends meet and was obliged to put my feet into polybags and then put on my willies.
          Did the job well enough 'til times got easier.
          A long, long time ago,

            Been there, done that. When my ex was working on a farm, I suggested he did just that ... one day, when he was walking across the field, he trod on a piece of wood with a nail sticking out of it :ouch1: ... he was so embarrassed when the hospital cut his wellie off, then the plastic bag, then the sock :heehee: :whistle: Silly beggar shouldn't have speared his foot with a nail! :whistle:

            I do have other wellies (dotty ones, floral ones and a rather fetching beige pair with an autumn leaf design) but these are my "I must be a gardener 'cos I got proper green wellies", wellies :heehee:

            Still good point: I'll pack some poly bags in the car and a change of clothes and keep an eye out for some proper water proof clothing too (must get a puncture repair kit too: that was inspired!) :dbgrtmb:

              Admittedly, he must have had a cracking sense of humour - - I mean, have you seen the matching accessory bag?!?! :snork:

                  That is of course assuming, the He you refer to is actually a He and not a Her, because had it have been a HER, there would be other dangly accessories about the male personage, and of course they would have to match !!!! :sofa:

                    Which is proof enough that the "designer" was a "He" and not a "She"!!

                      Not only that, but if the 'designer' was a 'she' there would also be 12 spare pairs to be kept in a cupboard somewhere.:biggrin:

                            I've only heard of it because a) a friend of mine was part of the team which developed it and b) a relation of mine was the first to publish a photo of it in the USA.
                            Disclaimer: a and b are in no way related and I am *not* a common denominator!

                              BUT, the He that could be a SHE, also uses evolution, and although the She's have little patience, I think on this one they knew they would need a little longer to evolve the Male, and we all know they get their will in the end.............:heehee:

                              For instance, I wonder how many of the Males on here have pierced ears? :whistle:

                              Preparation I say !

                              ;)
