Earmarked for Neil's suggestion of one road-marking, as many different shots as possible.

Demographic observation. Friday afternoon in Tesco, the beer aisle is almost deserted; ten minutes later in Waitrose, the wine corner was positively bustling. BTW, I had to visit the former to purchase cockles for the elderly relative; I haven't yet changed…

Urinating in the street is becoming something of a problem in central London - and we've certainly witnessed the goings-on in doorways on our dusk-til-dawn shoots. The problem would be rather better solved with more public toilets and fewer notices,…

One of the best ideology identifiers (with reference to local government) is the dog notice. This is Islington's approach. I particularly like the way that the council has provided the telephone number to a sneak hot-line. "I'd like to…

Last year, the elderly relative fulfilled a lifelong ambition to keep chickens and, now that we are all egged-out, I suggested he put a notice on the gate to start selling them. I thought I'd better check whether this was…

I found myself in Beckenham today - I've never been there before and found it rather interesting. From Zizzi (previously the Three Tuns, where David Bowie made his first appearance) to the Peugeot Pagoda, which was built for garage purposes…

I enjoyed my few days in the country, especially the sleepover with a good mate, but I am pleased to be back in the Smoke - the wi-fi works, I get a full phone signal, it's not muddy and I…

A visit to RPS HQ today and I was blown away twice - once by the howling winds (I'm sure they were approaching hurricane force) and then by Nigel Tooby's stunning exhibition Eye Spy A truly contemporary body of work,…

Fascinating! Why is 'No Smoking' in quotation marks? There are all sorts of reasons for using quotation marks (apart from the obvious one of quoting) but none of them seem to fit B&Q's sign. For example ... when you can't…

So I did! Absolutely no idea what this is about, but I always obey instructions and do as I'm told;-) I can't find anything at all online about it, but it's given me an interesting idea for a fun event…

I can't remember the last time I saw a snowman, especially one with a Happy Noodles hat.

The vivid imagination will see relevance in the shadows; the less vivid imagination would need barbed wire to complete the picture.

Fab breakfast meeting and noticed this sign on the way out. And the answer is smoking a hubble-bubble just before Christmas. No bubble-bubble selfie, but here's one of Eric doing his stint ...

Back in the day, one of the highlights of a visit to London was lurking around stage doors with an autograph book. Not any more : "in the interest of public safety" ... has the world gone bonkers? Although, admittedly, it…

All very odd. This is really a "No smoking on the pavement after 00.30 sign", isn't it?

As this is outside a restaurant, it's obviously food, but beyond that, the casual passer-by has no idea. I googled "worst Japanese foods" to see just how bad this could be and the results were: intestines (I can cope with…
