He he I know that always makes me laugh too!!!
...In the Stalin pic it's always the guy being talked out of doing 'The White Eared Elephant' trick that amuses me!!!

[Suzi]

The 1888 facebook originator you mean!!!

[Mike Covell]

No wonder I couldn't find a bin in London, they all have legs!!
In the same shot you can make out your reflection in the doorway next to the big "40", then in the other window there is a white van with a guy watching you!!!!

[Suzi]

Just a favourite from Brick Lane!

[Suzi]

LOL that's not me....this is Mitre Square so it MUST be the ghost of Mary Kelly and a 'er film crew!!!!

Always useful to know where to get a wholesale warehouseman!!! (Maybe even sporting some hosiery!)
Oddly I have never ever ever seen so many shops 'specialising 'in clocks,torches and batteries plus assorted bizarrities as I have in Whitechapel!!
