Intrigue on the U Bahn

Funky Van

Errr, where’s Fairford?

Spotted from the coach on the way into London recently. RAF Fairford is around 15 miles from Swindon and in a completely different county.

Anyone concerned about finding the show will find this website useful 😉

 

Haircut Sir?

Friday Bench: Advert

I wonder how long it’ll be before this idea reaches across the Irish Sea…

Errr, Where Am I?

I took this photo because I’m unsure how many people are going to take their phone and either telephone the company concerned, or look up the QR code whilst they’re on the loo. On the other hand,  I DID fish out my camera to take this shot…

Bile Beans

A ‘Sign of the Times’ from yesteryear left on the side of a building in York. What I’d like to know is this: if Bile Beans are so good for you, why aren’t they available today?

More about Bile Beans here – well worth a look!

Fish Wives

It was a at least couple of years ago when I was giggling at fish pedicures being the latest beauty craze to sweep America. And now they’re over here…
