Radical retreads feature of summer

Kiwi dexterousness is alive and well, RR researchers discovered in the weekend during a routine inspection of thongs on the strand.
Now, before you all jump to smutty conclusions that RR researchers have spent their weekends ogling the scantily clad uplift ends of shapely beachgoers – you’re wrong. Some of them are not neat at all. No, we’re not talking about bottom attire. The subject is casual footwear thongs, commonly known as jandals.
It was revealed that 52.7 per cent of New Zealanders in our broad survey, of six people (with a margin of error of three) would rather repair their jandals, than fork out $6 for a new partner. It seems the challenge is more motivation than the cost savings, despite times being unyielding.
One jandal wearer, who we agreed to not name for fear of ridicule, says he gets so fond of to his favourite flip flops and just can’t be bothered buying another partner.
Mother of Phoebe, proudly showed me the button, carefully selected to fit the vacation innermost reaches in the underside of the jandal, intricately wired into place.
