If I ever see Mark on the street, I will only come up to him if he isn't wearing those ugly trainer shoes he seems to use on every occasion.

He's at the point when comfort is over looks, I guess. My mom said trainers are the best type of shoes for elderly people, and even some of my peers have a strong bond with trainers. I, however, never had a single pair of trainers yet, but maybe, when I'm 72, I'll love them.

So, what do you wear when you go out walking?    I walk around 6 miles each day wearing trainers and if the terrain is going to be rough I wear boots.   I'm just curious!   :think

Well it's got to be a "quality shoe" of course from Dr Scholl!  Then get the tootsies in the foot spa when you get home! 😂

Oh, don't take it seriously superval, it was a joke. It's just that I've always associated MK with classy footwear over the years. I remember seeing him during the 2010 and 2015 tour and he was wearing a pair of beautiful browns, and also during the OES Tour. Now he just reminds me of an elementary school kid. I am terribly afraid that he will decide to do a few shows in 2023 and he'll be wearing a pair of green crocs.

Yes, I loved those brown boots that MK wore in 2010.  :P   Regarding trainers, everyone, young and old, wear trainers these days - I don't know anyone who doesn't and I just wondered what Quizzy wore instead.    Incidentally, I just bought a new pair of trainers today - lightweight ones for the summer!    ;D

These two are from Direstraitsuniverse on Insta. "Mark, Terry Williams and Malcolm Aitken outside Andy's Bar on Montserrat, during the recording of Brothers In Arms in 1984. Photo by Guy Fletcher." And "During the recording of the Princess Bride soundtrack in 1987". Old ones, obviously!, but I can't remember seeing them before. Sorry if they are way too large, I just made screenshots

Hmm Mark has gained a lot of weight. He doesn‘t look so fit. So I think julio is right with his gossip he heard from people which are close to MK.  :'(

Gaining weight when ageing seems not a problem to me.

Just eating too much without doing enough physical exercice. And drinking beer.

Yes, and both met again in July 2019.

I think Mark has never been really fit. Early on he was too skinny, only skin and bones. Then just a regular middle aged man. Now a regular 70+ club member.

That's the Bluebird Cafe in Chelsea, according to MK himself, just around the corner from where he lives!
You might get lucky, now and then

He looks exactly the same than in 2019, and I'm happy for that, he doesnt look worst, so, that's good.

I have a friend living in Chelsea, not far from MK lives, and he said to me that is very usual to see MK and his wife walking by the street, doing sport, everyday. So looks like that's the way he's trying to be fit or at least control the weight.
