Had to once come out of the poolside cubicle and round the pool, back to the front office to ask if they had some scissors, no way could i un fasten one of the knots in a pair of 10 hole Docs.
The more you struggled the worse it got and all the rest of the class are in the pool and the only door still closed is yours. Feels like forever when you're about 13.
Worst was walking home with one floppy boot coz the lace has been cut out😒
