Bendy bollards - gotta be better than a wonky womb!

Bendy bollards, wonky wombs, wandering uteri...

And then there was that bizarrely euphemistic definition "A thing you put on another thing"- Oh vey!


I think it's time to play Spot The Looney.

Mitre Square from an 1892 K&T billhead (with a hole in it). You've probably seen it before but maybe not as sharp. The date on the billhead is 31 August. There's a coincidence.

Fabulous Philip- Thanks x

Have you noticed, by the way, how ridiculously misleading the scale is? Those horses would, in actual fact, be the size of cats.

Paddy Goose, I love your b&w photo; what an interesting composition with the tall walls, curves, and shadows, not to mention the added touch of the lone pedestrian and the horse. Do you happen to know when it was taken?

Phil, that's a wonderful K & T illustration. I wonder if that late 19th C style of drawing with the very exaggerated scale has a particular name? I've seen illustrations like that of the old Sears & Roebuck corporate headquarters where the building is portrayed on such a monumental scale that all the people and vehicles below look like ants.

Best regards, Archaic
