Booted Out.

Walking around the village and the surrounding area with the dog you find all sorts of odd things lying about in the hedgerows. The usual items are junk food boxes and drinks cans but on the road between The Three Tuns and the old gravel pit there is what appears to be a football boot lying in the hedge. Youy wonder what the story is behind that. Did someone have a bad away match and hurl his boot out of the car in fury ?. I have heard of throwing the dummy out of the pram so perhaps this is a new varient on the theme.

At least though, you do not get the vast amount of smashed bottles which formerly contained various types of alcoholic beverage lying about the place as was the case in my former place of residence.
