Shhhhhh, kep it a secret. If THEY hear about it in Brus/bourg it will be pulled down "Can't have this sort of thing going on, invent a code number and get it STOPPED!"
Seriously I love it. The colour the variety the people. A British way of life.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR...YOU MAY GET IT!

or insist that they sell everything in centimetres or whatever the metric system is ,whats that in old money ? your left thinking ,actually the original place where the metric martyr prosecution happened ,sunderland ,whenever im there i see low bridges measured in feet and inches ,road signs measured in miles ,shouldnt that be in litres if theyre so fussy about metric ? youd think the council would get its own house in order before they picked on stall holders
