shoes to aspire to

[devi]

One of today's work experience kids is helping out in a shoe shop. He hadn't showed up yet when I arrived, so I wandered around idly examining shoes to pass the time. Every model of shoe had its own name. Some of these were what you'd expect as names for shoes, like 'Beth' and 'Napoli'. But I also found shoes called 'Creepy', 'Qualm' and 'Needy'.

('Qualm' were some little white shoes for kids with pink flowers on them.)

Why?!

Qualm marched against invading Iraq

Oh, the mental image... down the streets of London marched the students, the crusties, the poi-spinners, the people who'd called in sick, the Archaeologists Against the War... and a pair of very small, white shoes.
