street embassadors delight

i love the street embassadors who live on the streets of london.  this was an absolute classic example.  it looks like some crazy 70s funksters front room , complete with psychedlic carpet, period furniture and glass drinks cabinet

but look closers and you realised it’s just set up in a side street with a nice little sign inviting people to sit down and join them for dinner.  pity i spotted when they were all out partying or something.  but what a brilliant insider outside thing !

i love this sign completely.  it seems so lovelily british.  you can imagine it being on the queen’s front door.  someone is still proud of this great and bizarre little country we live in.  and hoorah for that i say.

these are strange times

there was a short period of time where the design of microwaves and televisions collided.  nowadays tellies look like posters and microwaves look like toasters.  i think.
