    I am a bit of a shoe collector too, as it happens I have just sorted through my wardrobe and bagged up about 20 pairs for the charity shop.
    Currently I have 7 pairs of trainers, 3 pairs of sandals, a couple of pairs of pool shoes, 10 pairs of smart formal shoes for work, several pairs of boots, walking shoes, gardening shoes and of course my slippers.
    Is that too many

    Dont get me started on clothes, I must have at least 20 suits and 30 formal shirts, 30+ casual shirts and over 100 ties

    ME too ... well ... perhaps not 20 ... but a fair few suits - dating mainly from my working days - since that was my normal daily mode of attire for the office. Plenty jackets, casual trousers and shirts of all kinds as well. And I've lost count of the number of ties I have ... might even reach somewhere near your record.

    Glad I'm not the only one Arthur. The crazy thing is, I am pretty ruthless with clearing out my wardrobes each year and take bags of clothes to the charity shop. I used to buy a lot of clothes a few years ago, but didn't think I bought that many now, until I looked in my wardrobe and noticed all of the brand new unworn clothes, with price labels still in tact.

    In some ways it is quite embarrassing when we consider how much money we waste on clothes we never wear and then compare that with what some of our Filipino friends earn. back in the days when I used to go to India, I used to take a suitcase full of nearly new clothes for my Indian friends
