That's probably the name of the company that made them, don't you think? L&R, sounds like a lawfirm not manufacturers of green rubber boots. Really.

Boo! Where is every one?

Hi Lochy .Hows the new job?
In answer to the previous comment by the Duke I think the L and R
mean left and right.
Or it could mean Loud and ridiculous?
Any comments?

Drool it is fab - but more importantly how are things with you and Morris?

I think L and R does stand for LEft and Right but have they been stamped on the appropriate boot? And how long is the string?
I remember an old joke about a fellow doing 70 mph up the motorway in his wellies but came to a terrible end when he had a blow out in one.

*arrives in rather a hurry, dragging a goat on a piece of rope* Sorry, I think there's been some kind of misunderstanding - I asked the gentleman outside to lend me a groat. Anyway, will you accept this goat as full payment for another guess?

Yes, we would, if we were comodo dragons. But perhaps Pepys chef could do something with it?

Goat stew, anyone?

Goat stew, I'll have a full plate thank you. Is it curry in there? I think this burgundy will go excellent with it.

And by the way, you silly twits; I KNOW that L & R stands for left and right, I was just trying to make a joke! Geez, just spoil a perfectly good an comprehensible joke, by acting like you didn't understand it... I'll do the same to you when the time comes, see how you like it.

One plate of goat stew coming right up! *turns around to reveal the legend "Sponsored by the L&R Boot Company" on the back of his coat*

Blimey Duke, what's got your goat? Don't be so nannyish! You're acting like a kid!

Put me down for some of that goat stew but bagsy I don't have the beard or the horns in my bowl.

Vibe, this is goooooood stuff! But it works not well at all with the burgundy. I think this requires ale, have we got any of that? And Vibe, are you Pepys chef? How did you get that job? Does it pay well?

Excuse me... excuse me... EXCUSE ME!
I've got two hoofs in my bowl and some gobstopper things which keep looking at me. Where did you get the recipe from?

And I agree with Duke. HAve we got any ale?

*consults J Tarbuck's Book Of Old Jokes* Keep quiet about the gobstoppers, Vestie, or they'll all want some. And don't blame me, I'm just the waiter - I did apply for the job of chef, but was turned down after they found out about me feeding the ferrets. Having said that, I shall endeavour to help you in your quest for liquid accompaniment - I fancy a big ale myself.

I've gone right off my food.
I was fishing around in my underpants when I thought that they were particularly roomy. I came across this piece of paper with ferrety writing on it. It said:-
"Dear Vestboy,
Thank you for providing us with a home - and a very comfortable one it was - but we have decided that since you have taken to eating goat your digestive tract is no longer what it used to be.
We had a vote and by a unanimous result we decided to find new lodgings. Please excuse the hole we had to dig through the gusset but there is only so much a ferret can take.
Yours sincerely
Mumtaz, Janice and children."

I'll have one that's a bit on the darker side, if you can dig up one. No reference to any fight between evil and good, I just want a dark beer.

Oh Vestboy, how terrible! I'm so sorry. Where will they go now?

Well, this happened to me once in the past. The ferrets ran around a bit aimlessly at first and then straight up th etrouser leg of someone standing not six feet away.

*stares expectantly at Duke's trouser leg*

Nothing yet. *Shakes trouser leg*
