Here's Charlie in his Shop
I don't know how true it is but they tell be Charlie used to knock his wife about 🤔🤔 back to the title of the post i have 1 pair of trainers, slazenger 20quid , when they wear out I will just replace them with a similar pair , can't see the point of having loads of expensive trainers .
