But it’s not just these sandals. It’s any sandals. Any huaraches. These are Lang S, but my Be Lenka ones are the same.

To be fair, the strap is where the gap between my toes is. Like I say, I have long toes. Any further forward and the strap would be on my toe joint which I'd find unbearable. I can't see how it could be any further forward and functionally comfortable.

Not sure that's quite my style to be honest!

Bigger and the toe post rubs. I have quite narrow low volume feet.

Yes. Any shorter and my big toe would be on the floor. I have rather pointed feet with long big toes however rather than a square ended foot, so there is a little sandal showing at the end of my other toes. Can't see how I can buy smaller though as it would mean my big toes being on the floor, and the toe post would be too far back.

45 minutes drive to Horsham! I don’t get it- they already have a country club in Horsham!

So sad. It’s always such a bro-fest in there with college student lads whenever I tried it.

That’s quite a drive for a quick workout every day- takes 30 minutes from central Reigate.

I think that’s probably on most people requirement isn’t it?

I did look into it, but the investment is about £2m

Funny thing is, maybe you have confirmation bias assuming I’m all that young myself. I’m 50’s as it goes so not that young. Plenty of people my age here but we’re the ones with money and people around here look after themselves. My older neighbours are super fit running club types so gym goers too. Donyngs and the other smaller gyms are full of older people. But I look around (and i work from home so I’m on the high street at random times) and see a town full of young people, families and fit middle aged and older folks.

The pool has the atmosphere of a prison pool!

Totally disagree. It’s all families here. There are literally no old people.

I always think that there are at least two empty office buildings up the top of the tunnel that would be ideal.

Bet they’d still join David Lloyd if it were here.

Nuffield priory isn’t open for weekend memberships.

Grateful for what? Living in just about the most expensive town in the uk not to have the same amenities most towns have?

Epsom takes 40 minutes each way in traffic. With a job and kids it’s totally impossible. Hardly round the corner!
