Bikes with uncut steerer tubes sticking out the top.
I think that's so they would be easier to sell on.

Why do people hang bags of dog poo on fences? Are they gangs marking out their territory?

Were there any children in the 1970s who didn't steal a sweet from the Woolworth's pic n' mix counter?

Adverts, how do they get away with it ?
I just watched a Pringles advert for instance, it portrays cool, hip, party people I bright garish clothes, portraying a party atmosphere...all in a tube of pringles.
How does that sit with reality, a snack that's only modestly palatable, something youd eat but not go out of your way to do so.

Similar to the Ferrorer Rocher ads years ago, when 'ze ambassador's' black bow tie dinner party was made complete by having a ball of bits of nuts in sickly milk chocolate.:rolleyes:
