It does mention that they have been refurbished since 2005, which means they would'nt be in a terrible state anyway. This is going to make someone, somewhere, a LOT of money.
You had to bring them up. You've re-opened painful childhood memories. My mother knitted me a pair and they were so baggy I tripped over in them. I never got into ballet school as a result and instead got sent to a special school (Park High)*.
OT - I had a tour round the Brookside set many years ago after an incident at Birkenhead Market when the lad who played Barry Grant's younger brother (the one who's on one of those to buy or not to buy type shows) turned on the christmas lights and I was rather unceremoniously crushed by the hoards of screaming girls who were scrambling to get near him (he was a bit of a sex symbol back then).
He called the hospital to see if I was ok apparently, and I later got a card from him saying "get well soon" and inviting me to have a tour. I met all the cast and had my photo taken with Terry (I was in love with him ) I still have that picture somewhere.
It was much smaller than I thought it would be.

It�s hard to be fit as a fiddle when you�re shaped like a cello!
