And speaking of gumboots, do you have Gatorade in Mumbai? It's excellent in hot weather. It was developed as a drink for athletes - the Florida Gators (alligators) - that's a football team, really football and not soccer - another "contact sport."

No, gumboot isn't used. I think they're just called rubber boots, rain boots, or snow boots. I don't think DW is reasonably sure on which continent to find Mumbai, let alone country - he has gaps in his education. Gumshoe is a term in the old detective novels used to describe a private eye, not used today - I think I saw it used somewhere recently. I think the point was that there is a shop called Fashion Peach - which DW seemed to find hysterical for some obscure reason. I think DW wants a gumboot for his growing footwear collection - thanks for the G Dance info.

Dark Wall - morning :-) - something intersting for you - Maybe!

The gumboot dance  - called - isicathulo - is a dance that is performed by dancers wearing Wellington boots.Here they are of course called gumboots - there too?  

The boots may be embellished with bells, so that they ring as the dancers stamp on the ground. This sound would be a code or a different calling to say something to another person a short distance away. It was basically used as a language in the mining grounds.  It was an alternative to drumming.

D.W. DID you steal my licorice boots??? Never mind Mumbai, those things are alive and well here too  :-) X

"For mark! No sooner was I fairly found

Pledged to the plain, after a pace or two

Than, pausing to throw backward a last view

To the safe road, 'twas gone; grey plain all round:

Nothing by plain to the horizon's bound.

I might go on; nought else remained to do"

Robert Browning of course.
