She I reckon you're right about it being a Yorkshire thing. I used to work at our local mental hospital and in various homes and the favourite colour for men and women was blue. Even my Grandads got a pair of those zip up the front blue jobbies. Even though Grandad is losing his marbles a bit these days, it was my Mum that bought them. Hope it doesn't run in the family! lol Jeanette

Hi She Does that mean that if we are given blue slippers as a gift, we now know what those people think of our mental ability?

Hi She sorry to disprove your theory when I was a Sister on a Phsycie ward the favourite colour was dark red for the ladies and the men liked brown Bren

Well Karen - you have hit the nail on the head! Look at residents in psych wards and nursing homes - they ALL wear blue slippers! I had heard of this theory and put it to the test - when m i l was in hosp I looked around the ward - the slightly loopy people all had blue slippers. she is in a nursing home and out of the 16 people I saw in the lounge 15 of them had BLUE slippers!!!!!! One old dear was at the front door - waiting to go out with husband and I - claimed her daughter had brought her to visit a friend - I looked down - and guess what SHE WAS WEARING BLUE SLIPPERS!
