In reply to ben b:
> A worn out pair of Fox River socks? No way. Made of plutonium they have a half life of about a hundred thousand years. I recently threw out a pair from 1993 as they had gone a bit baggy but never wore out.
Hah! Funny that other people remember them and have found the same. It is quite ridiculous how well mine have lasted. The elastic in them is still fine as well. Plutonium coated in diamond dust obviously.
BTW to the OP, a very quick google and it looks like you can buy some models from UK ebay.
