I've managed to erm, the first time we went skiing is when we lived in the States, we went to  like, er, not dry ski slopes there, but it was like false snow, that's the same as you  erm,they were really, was like eleven years ago, sort of like, technology hadn't quite advanced terribly much, you know, and these bindings, you had like, metal clips on the bottom of your boots, and you had to put the thing in and clip the boot, clip the thing round on the skis, to keep your boot on the ski, right, it wasn't like toe clips where you shove your foot,
