shops

for when you need your vinegary cabbage snack in a hurry.

this shop, which was still open for business had the oldest dustiest window display ever

except maybe this shop nearby

here’s a strange thing. it’s a gun shop. which also sells skeletons (so you can pretend you shot a person and have kept the skeleton).
it also, rather mysteriously, sells ‘visible horses’

here is a sign on the old police station in henley. it says it’s “closed for good”. but it might have been for bad. surely it’s too early to tell ?

here’s a dreadfully photoshopped attempt at giving the old police station some character.

(this is exactly why i don’t use photoshop much !)

click to admire the tables, chairs, cupboard and that fantastic wall paper !

selfridges on Oxford Street often have excellent window displays. here’s what’s on at the moment.
it’s very doctor who isn’t it ?

no idea what it’s about. and i like that feeling

this establishment already looks dated. just a few years back it would have been cutting edge

this shop has had a sign saying ‘back in 2 weeks’ up for the last 3 weeks, but you wouldn’t know as there’s no date.
but there is a Soduku and crossword on the newspaper stuck on the window and i’m kinda tempted to use a washable pen and write the answers on the outside of the window !

brilliant idea. a shop that sells bicycles and magic tricks. or tricks you can do on bikes.

as theme parks go, shoe world was doomed to failure from the very start.

i don’t smoke. but i certainly eat a lot of chocolate and drink a lot of hot water.
and it’s good to see someone abiding by the government’s colour coordinated car parking policy.

i love the understated anger in this sign.

… always allow for a border when you measure the size of your sign

an interesting display of mopeds in a shop window. it’s for a shop which sells glasses.

you’re obviously meant to walk past it and say “i don’t believe my eyes, i better buy some new glasses”
