My great-great-grandfather was born in County Durham and emigrated to the US as a boy with his family. The story goes that his parents bought him a new pair of shoes for the sea voyage, and as soon as they got on the ship, he promptly took off his shoes and dropped them overboard, just for fun.
Now I see where my nieces got it.
