a dead cert

a funeral parlour next to a betting shop. what a great idea. you could even play chicken by running across the road between the cars. if you make it you get a payout from Coral. if you don’t you end up next door.

the changing face of retail

i now go to Osterley a couple of times a week and i walk down from Ealing Broadway station. Right near my destination, there’s this PC World store.
I like the old Do It All logo, not quite properly removed in the background.
I think it says something about technology progress. From do it yourself, to automate it, to get someone else to sort it (that’ll be the PC Clinic)

pret whooping

i walked past pret on oxford street just before 7.30 when they were all being whooped up for the day by their leader. i was out in the cold rather than in with them being whooped, but i’m not a real whooping sort of guy so that was fine with me.
