Shoes off?

In an episode of Come Dine With Me tonight, a host asked each of his guests to remove their shoes at the front door. I'd have docked him at least two marks for that alone. Wouldn't you?

I used to go to a girl's house whose parents had strict standards like this. Ironically, they had a dog that pissed everywhere, and I would often step in it in error.

I just can't stress how less comfortable I feel without my shoes on, with or without the risk of standing in piss, but to some people it's the only way they know.

Does your house have a no shoes policy?

I always take my shoes off when I enter someone else's house, regardless of whether they ask me to.

About 2 years ago I'd been walking the dog, went to visit a friend who'd just had a brand new hall carpet, didn't take my shoes off and managed to tread mud and dog shit into her new carpet.

Are you still friends?

When I first have a new carpet fitted then yes, which usually lasts for a few weeks before standards slip and there is a no no shoe policy anymore.

Yes, but it cost me £500 to replace the carpet.

I'd of thought you'd be more wiser than to do that sort of thing Nat.

Nat you mucky cow.

I have a cream carpet in my hallway and living room, not a cheap one either so, yes - shoes off rule applies...

I have floorboards in Angry Dad manor so you can wear Jack Boots if you like especially to our parties, bring your pets if you like , you can bring your Beaver Nat i'd love to pet it.

No shoes on pain of death !!

Do you live in a Squat Mr Angry

No i live in an old manor house ,its all creaky floorboards and ghosts and witches dancing round fires in the woods. I go to bed with a night cap on carrying a candle and say fiddlesticks a lot.

Its got lots of stables which i keep my cars in, fuck horses apart from my metal mustang.

Just gone to lock the back door and stood on a fucking Slug, without my shoes on, sticky gooey fucker.

Will have to wash my foot now.

You can get lung worm from slugs don't touch the fuckers

That only applies to some animals and yes shoes off as it is disrespectful!

I have a pair of slippers in my porch. I take my shoes off and put my slippers on when I enter. Seemples.
