They are for knocking balls about around ones feet, Puttees on the other hand prevent ones balls from dropping there in the first place.

Marketing follies.I can't give too much detail, but my present employers love a gimmick or cheesey marketing strapline: a while ago, they came up with " Our competitors are heading in the same direction, but we need to be out at the front, let's all go in the right direction, at speed, and together! " The accompanying photograph on the advert? A transposed photograph of people sprinting clockwise around an athletics track...the senior Marketing Manager was a keen amateur 400M runner. "Oh f***" has never sounded so classy when pointed out to the lady herself😁

A bit like this perhaps??
"Time and again when banks, utility firms, insurers and shops are told of a death, they address letters to the person who has passed away.Worse, they send them addressed to ‘the deceased’ or, as I received from one firm: ‘Mrs J. Bischoff, deceased’.
