Looks like an advert for the barbers shop they'll be introducing into the new North Stand. I love old barber's poles, though. Representive of the blood shed by and bandages used by the old barbers who also doubled up as the local surgeons and dentists, presumably because a cut-throat razor could be put to a lot of uses.
AH! The new CP NHS facilities for East Hull folk!

Dum Dum and Grafton Red - could you each choose a final submission? Then we'll do a poll, with a more sensible thread title. TT, your effort has attracted admiration on the mods board and there's every chance it would win the poll. The apparat cannot allow that.

I'm assuming this is irony seeing as you then say the apparat won't allow it?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

People love the humour. But humour won't sort out the debt crisis, pension shortfalls or care for the elderly will it? No, only handing people cyanide capsules on retirement can do that.

I'm working on that bit, got to pull together haven't we.
I will completely understand if the powers that be will not allow my entry, artistic jealousy innit.
This is RLFans, not a democracy. Here, The Man always wins.
