Ok Given some get grumpy with links I will spell it out
"JLR is rolling out a new ‘House of Brands’ strategy, whereby its vehicles are separated into four core sub-brands: Jaguar, Discovery, Range Rover and Defender. The Land Rover nameplate and logo is being demoted to a “trust mark”, though it may still appear on vehicles."

I recall we spoke about this a long time ago, and it's reared it's ugly head. Again.
About 10 years ago (?). I had a fantastic pair or Oliver work boots, perfect fit etc... but the sole started to stick to our ceramic tile floor,,, first a slurping sound - which progressed to tissue-thin black pieces departing the boot in preference to the floor. Needless to say, SWMBO. was not happy. Nor I. The de-laminated to the extent of walking into the bin.
Then two pairs of shoes cracked across the bend-point, new soles save them for another year or three, but eventually. - Wish I'd had leather instead of the cheaper urethane replacements.
Fast forward to now. Current pair of.... - can I name them ? - New, well-balanced leather walking shoes is... you guessed it, starting to slurp on those same tiles. So far, no chunks sticking, Yet.
Only saving grace was the 'Special' price of $89. Methinks I may be looking at bespoke shoes, full leather, just to get a decent life.[bigsad]
Anyone else finding their shoes, boots, gym-shoes are losing integrity in their plastic soles ?
Or maybe this...... Making HANDMADE Leather Boot Shoes - YouTube. [biggrin]
