Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

do you live in Scunny and have a Underground worker relative who commutes from Walsall and holidays on the Fylde coast? I know you're gonna say no but tell the truth.
