Gutties/sand shoes/gym shoes- Central Scotland a bit north of Glasgow and Edinburgh but further south than Perth "Pumps" means "farts" to me- oh the hilarity of entire classes of English schoolchildren talking about " my pumps".

Fascinating fact, couldn't resist posting

Plimsolls were made from Gutta percha, a non latex bendy material from a tree. It was over harvested in the 1850s and the supply chain broke down, which meant shoes had to be made from rubber. Gutta percha is not latex based like rubber as it comes from a different genus of plant. It is used for medical purposes now. This is probably the origin of the word Gutties.

I call them daps, as I'm from S Wales. But my parents call them tackies and I never knew why. Now I do. 3 posters called them tackies so far and they're all from Africa. My parents lived there for 11 years. I learned something new today .

Now I'm in Surrey, so they're pumps.
