A basket of flowers

Walking along one of Ledbury's main shopping streets I was prompted to ask myself, "If you are a shop selling brassieres how do you advertise yourself to the passing public?" What prompted this odd query was a shop solely devoted to selling that particular undergarment that was using the device of a traditional bicycle with a wicker basket full of flowers. It was approaching the problem - as advertisers are often wont to do - by coming at it from an oblique angle. Time will tell if it works. I took a photograph of the basket of flowers and found that a strong vignette added considerably to the image.

Beef

One of the things I recall about my childhood visit to the butcher's shop was a diagram of a cow with the location of the cuts of meat superimposed. To my childhood sensibilities it too explicitly made the connection between the living animal and the meat that would end up on my plate. But, I must have come to terms with it because I never became a vegetarian, though I imagine that was the unintended consequence in more than a few cases. I saw this neon version of the once common diagram in the window of a London steakhouse.
