The "daps" thing interests me. According to several websites I've just looked at, it's a specifically Bristol term, derived from the Bristol-based factory that made them, called Dunlop Athletic Plimsolls (though this is one of those definitions that I'm inclined to be dubious about). However, the term had clearly spread as far as a small village in north Gloucestershire - though the nearby small town hadn't heard of it.
