    Why take the risk? ( candid snap)

    I was passing a shoe shop in St Andrews when this little scene met my gaze.

    Obviously the lady has been involved in footwear carnage before and was well prepared.

    Why take the risk?  ( candid snap)

    If it is the St Andrews I have heard of I thought it would be standard protection against stray golf balls.

    Nice photo journalism shot.

    Even if the injury to her right leg was not incurred in the shopping mayhem; you scots are a tough lot to ride your bikes with a broken or sprained leg just to get to the pre-Xmas sales

    Considering that I'm a salesperson, I think I'm fully qualified to conclude that she was simply prepared to do battle with her salesperson.

    Mike then her protection is woefully inadequate unless she left all her money and credit cards at home.
