@Lucifer:

My girlfriend is looking for a winter boot. She keeps looking at overpriced local boots and she keeps buying stuff that lasts one season at best.

I'm thinking get something that lasts. Suggestions for rugged, very warm (She is a freezer) and solid winter boots?

maybe check out Sorel? Edit: IJ mentioned them. Great Boots, have the male caribou myself

[scroogen]

Sorel is not the same company they were ~15 years ago. Used to be made in USA and Canada. I think they are now owned by Colombia sportswear and made in China. I have 0 experience with newer sorel boots but I know the old ones are bomb proof.

agree to this…

[davito]

that is true re Sorel but good old times are over in our globalized world, unfortunately. to be honest, all of of the nice Nike around are made in China (earlier in Korea or some still in Vietnam) too and none of the sneakerheads cry (me included ;-)). to each his/her own, I still think that the mother company of the brand Sorel keeps some kind of responsibility towards the customers when producing outside of Canada trying to hold on high production standards and be compliant with labor law etc. Of course the outcome is different than 20+ years ago, I fully respect that.

MP hope he will be more active again soon and thank you guys for asking…

[Blackheart]

Sure hope so.

Megatron.  One half deflated fair ground hammer found.  Can I bin it, or does Tommytron want us to keep it here, for the next time he feels like beating Minitron up?

[Megatron1505]

I thought you might need it for any inflatable nails you find sticking out. 

Feel free to trash it G, apologies for leaving it behind

Cross post from the NY thread :

I get paid whilst I am in NY, and the chances are I will spend myself into the ground. Is there anywhere that I can access my UK bank account in NY? I know in Tokyo I could use "Citibank" ATM's, is this the same for NY?

[Giles]

You can use you card in almost any ATM.  Well. let's put it this way, I have never found one that won't work in USA…..

[Megatron1505]

And I would be supremely confident in that answer, if it wasn't for the fact that my bank was recently absorbed by a bunch of useless feckpigs…...otherwise known as Santander.

I'm not sure if I'm hoping to get my annual bonus in my next pay or not, on the one hand great !! On the other hand I would doubt that it would survive NYC  :o
