I'm wondering if the P.C. Northerners are associating this innocent phrase
with "sold down the river" which may be Politically Incorrect as it refers
to a practice in time of slavery in U.S. A. when rebellious slaves might be
sold to brokers who supplied workers for plantations in the deep South.

(they're very good to me there ). I walk everywhere but did wait until I
got to the less busy side street to start reading. I kept reading when I

and I guess those will still be different. Now what I want to know is are trainers and
sneakers exactly the same thing? I have never been quite clear about shoe names here in
the US. I know sneakers in the UK us
I don't exactly know what sneakers are, but for children in the UK trainers
