I'm convinced the girl sat opposite me has her shoes on the wrong feet. Should I say something?

Dear doodab
As the previous poster replied, the young lady obviously has managed to get to the Tube in the shoes without mishap (we cannot speculate on the state of her bunions).
Therefore this does not fall into the categories of Health and Safety or accidental sartorial mishaps (red lippy on the teeth, trouser zip undone etc...)
You did the right thing by not commenting on her footwear."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

They were trainers, and definitely on the wrong way. I can only assume they were so oversized she didn't notice.
Anyway, my dilemma was solved by a pregnant woman who I gave up my seat for. This caused me to hop off the tube and get a cab, cos there is no way i'm standing on that tube line in the rush hour.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.
