All these grandad slippers have security tags attached. Are there roving gangs of grandparents swiping them and shoving them on some OAP black market?

1. Pssst I might have a pair of size 9’s I could sell you, but,…..

   ……..ask no questions

2. Fuck they look cosy

3. ‘Slippered off the back of a lorry, they did.’

4. “grandad slippers” now listen here you little…

5. “Thief, stop him, he’s very slowly getting away!”

6. Well they DO look very comfy…!

7. It’s so people don’t slip them in their bag and walk out.

8. I mean have you not seen the alarming documentary on the Hell’s Grannies movement by E. Idle and M. Palin?

9. Can we talk about the wooly hat with LED? I found one in work that had a mode with flashing red and blue lights, lol

10. Slippers aren’t just for grandad

11. Agesist b’stard. Them’s my favourites. /s

12. No.

13. My dad once told me about the time he was in fenwicks years ago Christmas shopping bored just standing around and he begun watching this sweet little old dear about 75 walking around casually filling her bag with cashmere jumpers which were at the time really expensive. Not a single person suspected her being so old and sweet old lady looking. He said she must of had a few hundred quid of jumpers in there when a weeks wage was like 60 pound 

14. I have it on good authority that old people who burgle wear sneakers for sneaking.

15. You’ll know this gang by the fact that they only wear the one right-footed slipper. Beware!

16. Having worked retail, I can guarantee you that on Christmas Eve slippers become *the* most desirable gift around.

17. That’s quite a concentration of slippers. Where is this snug slice of slipper heaven?

18. OAPaque market*

    I’ll see myself out.

19. Clearly you haven’t seen that Seinfeld episode.

    OAPs are always “forgetting” to pay for things.

20. Having worked in retail, old people are the most likely to be shop lifters, which I found surprising. Probably a mixture of them taking advantage of the ‘respect your elders’ culture that makes people rarely treat them suspiciously, the fact a lot of them have less disposable income, and I think this sense of them having ‘paid their dues’ – now that they’re retired and older they justify petty shoplifting in a way.

21. It must be the youngins that do the stealing, possibly for cheap gifts.

    Proof: I’ve never had to wave my walking stick at a senior citizen and shout at them to get auf my lawn.

22. My Nan is a prolific shop lifter. Every shop stuff goes in the bag and she says I was just carrying it to the till when caught

23. That’s got to be a huge one right legged army of grandads, and I for one, welcome our elderly, missing limbed overlords.

24. Comeon Tam, stock up on your travelling Werthers originals and give Betty a ring on the Hoose phone, we’re going on an OAP rampage ….. Fuck my hips popped out again

25. If I remember Line of Duty correctly there’s a lot of OPG’s knocking around.

    Organised Pensioner Gangs are nothing to sneeze at, especially this time of year if they’ve not had a flu jab.

26. They look quite nice. Are they a designer brand

27. Op, where’s that photo taken!?? Asking for a grandad! 👌

28. The grey market?

29. Of course there are tags on them, especially nowadays, people steal anything they can get their hands on

30. Cats usually make a home out of those. You how the rwalestate / housing market is getting hotter. Especially in London. Hense the tags.

31. Is is photo from Uniqlo? I’m sure I walked past this!

32. I’ll have you know that some of those are MOCCASINS. Good DAY, sir!

33. Trashy people love wearing them to Walmart and other low end shops.
