Hanging around ...


Had to hang around yesterday in one of those shopping streets where you see 40-plus ladies in BMW and Merc sports cars shopping for expensive clothes in the eternal and fruitless effort to make themselves look 40-minus.

Stopping for a smoke on a nicely-placed bench — where I could get a good view of the cute kilted gal changing the window display in the art supplies shop — a chap handed me this (below). I thanked him for this triumph of typography and iconography. But I had a feeling he was working the wrong crowd.
