Also, on the same subject. Dog s**t, bizarrely clinging to a wall. I haven't seen that since I was a kid.

( not that I go out looking for it specifically. )

Maybe dogs nowadays are more grounded.

My dog happily produces said "product", but that's because she's fed on raw meat and not processed wet / dry food.

The one in Mornington Crescent/Camden Town is still there... I think.
And there used to be one in South Wimbledon.

Fabulous! I sneak down and get myself a WWII Mae West and a sheepskin flying jacket, Algie.

Edit: The Camden one was called Lawrence Corner or something and had shiny lettering on the shopfront?

Rediffusion TV

Blimey, I thought nobody else would remember that! Early cable TV with a bakelite switch box on the wall ....
Nothing's changed really.

Bakelite! Thanks FF. Smelled blooming odd when it burned though.

My grandmother had it and the high school that I attended had it installed when the school was built back in 1968.

There was a satisfying click as you turned the knob.
