The joy of socks

[anon2022anon]

I've just been reading the washing thread, and the amount of people who suggested getting rid of unmatched socks and just having one style/ colour for each person in the house.
My life would be sadder if I had to wear grey socks every day.

Socks are an unsung hero in life- I'm momentarily a bit happier when I realise I'm wearing full length jeans that day so I can wear my green space socks, or my 3 year old realises I've got on my rainbow stripe socks so disappears off to find hers to match.

There is no point to this thread. Or maybe there is, actually- any recommendations on where I can get trainer socks that don't roll down your foot? But even if none appear, I felt socks got enough of a bashing that an appreciation post was warranted. I'm going to choose some happy socks today.

@ErrolTheDragon see my post above

@AnnieSnap , Many of my friends and relatives are sheep farmers, and sheep are sheared carefully without brutality of any sort. If you want to think that any decent farmer would allow that to happen then go ahead, but the article isn't even about sheep in this country.

Of course @KirstenBlest I’m not suggesting there is cruelty in British wool, but many, if not most clothing retailers in part, or entirely, buy there wool from abroad. Surely checking with companies about the welfare of animals where they buy their materials makes it more likely that they buy from good, ethical sources like your friends and relatives 🤷‍♀️
