Segs were made by a company called Blakey's Malleable Castings, so both names are OK.

In the good old days before the throwaway age i used to get my brogues and loafers re-soled with the segs built into the heel, you could be seen sparking down the street at night!!.
Are there any cobblers left in Leicester?,i used to use one in Wigston in the 80's.

You're probably right, but in my youth we called the larger crescent shaped ones blakeys and the small squarish ones segs.

You're trying to get me to say something that will get me infracted, are you not? I have to tell you, Mr Spion, that I am convinced that you will be a grandfather before I am.

Going back to the subject of segs, do you remember how unwelcome wearers of such were on the ice slides that seemed to zig-zag across every school playground during the harsh winters of the 1950s?

No? Not born then? Let's pass on then!

Polar Bear is, as far as I know, the only person I have ever met who has any connection with Buckingham. He's not that skinny but I'm pretty sure he isn't your eldest daughter.

'Tis also my experience.

I also remember the zig zags of slides across the playgrounds, although this was not until the sixties.

(And yes, I am a grandfather already).
