Socks
Posted: Mon 7 February, 2005 Filed under: General 3 Comments »Over at Little Red Boat, Anna’s been talking about Anarchist socks – believe me, they exist. And I was thinking that socks have actually got really boring since Sock Shop went bust.
When Sock Shop existed, I had a tendency to wear very very silly socks – cartoon characters and the like. Generally kept under cover, due to my preference for Cat boots instead of shoes, but they were there all the same. Since then, well, the variety has been far slimmer, and I’ve ended up resorting to boring socks.
Of course, I realise that this has sod-all relevance to anything at all, it’s just something I was thinking about. I’m sad like that.
Sock Shop still does exist, as far as I’m aware; they have them in London anyway.
Sock Shop went bust? When was that? I missed it. Not that I ever shopped there, hence me not noticing it’s gone I suppose.
Tie Rack is still going though, isn’t it?
I’m sure the majority of Sock Shop went bust in about ’96/’97. There were some franchised stores that managed to avoid the chop, but the majority of them closed down overnight.
