Knee high black leather boots with a peek toe at the bottom, slightly resembling a chimney with toes poking out the bottom
A brown leather slip on heeled shoe: its sole is black and bumpy a bit like solid opaque bubbles leading to a chunky kitten heel at the back. The top is like the front part of a brown leather 90’s style boot but it’s been cut to be a mule shape, so it’s only the bit of the boot covering the foot to below the ankle. Very hard to describe but extremely ugly

Soo chef BANS sausages” And “Breakfast Terror. Forced to eat EGGS instead of sausages”

The river is almost at the top of the arches. On the far bank is a building and vegetation

A black wall board with white letters and numbers that can be stuck onto it and chanted around, like the ones found in some bars and pubs (in the UK at least) which have drinks names and prices listed on them.
