OK, I stand corrected, people. (In mitigation, allow me to say I had in mind the plight of the man who had to deal with bell-ringing kids and their hostile parent.)
Thank you.
And 'thank you' to AbFab for giving more details of the 'other side of the story'.

| Crikey! I never heard that one before - the flats of friends I've visited, plus most of the flats in our building have even got standard Ikea shelves housing a variety of shoes, trainers, slippers, wellies and whatnot.
It is odd seeing as it is definitely "de rigeur" to take your shoes off before going into someone's flat. | |

After more than a year of moving to our flat and planting our shoe case outside our front door, we received a letter from the building owner saying we cannot keep the shoe case there. Too late! The way the coat thingamajig was set up inside precludes putting a shoe case next to it.
In the meantime, most of our neighbours have decorative trunks, plant thingies and such outside their front doors.
