M'coli Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No need when the gutty is in the floor In this context, any shoe or shoe like foot clothing device See also 'a wee bootful' and 'gie it a wee jag' see also kick it in the arse, lift up skirts, up and vanished like a fart in the wind etc etc no gonna be a wee brogue is it more like a welly or hob nail boot If anyone is interested in the etymology, "gutties" are/were rubber-soled shoes, i.e. plimsoles, from gutta-percha, natural rubber. Every day is a school day. Or as they in Yorkshire, "Clog it!", or "keep the clog in!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Or in Fifer 'fit din lod'. Maybe should be the secret sign of GLF, turning up in gutties. Or sannies if you want to call them that. Come to that, are proper gutties available in adult sizes? *goes to check* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skut Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We’d made the replacement in two pieces to avoid vibrations from large single sections of flat sheet. Check out you and your NVH considerations. I like the picture. It looks like the Oxford is getting a last minute reprieve from the light at the end of the tunnel.
