Thongs are footwear and footwear alone.
When my son was a young bloke, I took him to Melbourne, to see the big smoke for his first time. We parked the truck in Bourke Street and walked back to Myers. Neither of us could work out why everyone seemed to be staring at us, til Ben pointed out that we were the only people wearing thongs.
I bet I couldn't find a space ,in Bourke Street, these days to park a semi.[biggrin]
