robinh Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Congratulations to Al King of The Menders, Crewkerne, who followed up his success in the JR Shoe Repairer of the year 2014 by winning the SSIA World Champion Shoe Repair Competition in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday. Fantastic news. And also to Chris Froome of course for showing the world what Great Britain stands for.

Lee Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Not a privilege at all imo. It was a right. You went to the effort of entering and have the skills to back it up. Bragging rights like no one else in the UK. Brag it like a boss. keithm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
