Is Bob A Saboteur?

I've never really considered "Crocs" as the sort of fashion item I wish to wear. But I acknowledge that they are a very functional piece of footwear. Like like workers in a fishmarket, where the floor is often wet, medical personnel who need to be able to clean every garment, children who want to run along a pebbly beach and then paddle...

all these people and more find crocs/plastic clogs extremely practical. I treated myself to some garden clogs - and they have proved brilliant - I can go into the Futility Room, take off my slippers and step into my little purple clogs, and dash outside to move the wheelie bins, or grab a handful of salad leaves or whatever.

Bob had two pairs of wellies - one set in Dorset, one here at Cornerstones. He's cut the 'cuffs' from one pair, and now he has some garden clogs too.

We were taught at school that the word 'saboteur' came from the industrial revolution, when French workers threw their shoes [sabots] into the machinery to stop it working. It seems this may be incorrect, the word sabotage originally meant to do your work badly [clomping along noisily in your sabots] as an alternative to going on strike.

Yes Bob has 'destroyed' a pair of wellies - but in such a way as to make them into something very useful.

As long as he doesn't take up clog dancing, I shan't mind!
