Sounds great Derek!

Derek,

Is that walking stick one of the shock type? I have allways wanted one. Oh by the way did your wife find out about the skirt Graham asked about I went to marks & sparks web and did not see that one. I think My wife might be interested.

Thanks,
MrBill

Derek,

A nice tale indeed. I feel that by looking at the picture, you are just about to go walking as soon as the picture is shot, it looks great!

Graham .. You must have missed it, but I did answer your question about Elaines skirt in my other thread. She bought it in M&S quite a few months ago. If you would like Elaine to go and check if any are still about over here just let us know, there could be something similar in other shops too.

Sorry Mr Bill .. forgot to answer your question. Yes the 'stick' is shock absorbent. Its is a Leki. I had one before, they are really good. By the way if you want Elaine to check anything out in M & S over here let us know.

I have to admit when I read MrBill's question I thought it meant the "shock" type as in cattle prod.

Sorry Derek, I did miss your reply. Mind you, at a 100-200 new posts each day, not even my team of writers can pick up on every post.

I've seen these as well but since they're not much good for proper ambulatory use, I've never bothered...Personally, I need to use a cane for health reasons but I will say the stick does add to the whole look Derek has going. I just envy that he's capable of using it for its intended purpose.

Good for you, Derek.
