scarey gnomes
these chaps are incredibly scarey. click to observe them in their scarey fullness.
cause and effect
as kezia says: “drinks makes wees”
street cleaner and live TV
street cleaner driving by the This Morning TV studios (which were broadcasting live)
the council goes one better
here is a council street junk collecting van. it contained items of furniture, white good (fridge, cooker), trollies, mattresses etc.
it was like the funkypancake blog doing a roadshow.
348 by day
same car different time of day (and part of town)
the sweet manufactury
when we were on holiday we went to a sweet factory and watched these two chaps make sweets. at the end they brought them round to the drooling spectators to consumer.
esther and kezia watched with wide eyes. they were like kids in a sweet shop.
the shop next to the factory sold all your classic boiled sweets and you could even buy the big jars of them:
i was amused to note that nearly all the jars had the same ingredients, no matter what they contained. they should have just had a generic label at the door saying “all our sweets are made out of the same stuff, it’s only the artificial colours and flavours which vary from sweet to sweet):
and of course, there is always chaos near the pick ‘n’ mix.
did you know the phrase ‘fall out’ (as in nuclear fall out) comes from this very ‘fall out’ of sweets on to the floor next to pick ‘n’ mix dispensors?
108-164
i collect numbers. so i was pleased that these numbers were identified as numbers otherwise i may have missed them.
this sign is a typical example of the verbosity of the modern sign writer. 108 mins 164 is -56.
but i suppose if they’d written that then cars would have thought it was the speed limit and started driving very fast backwards down the road.
and that could only have lead to disaster.
so, on second (and third) thoughts, i’m happy they’ve done what they’ve done here.
