IT'S quite a few years since I lived in my home town, Bolton, and it struck me the other evening, while driving home from work here in Lexington, whether or not the 'bumper sticker' has developed into an art form in Lancashire, as much as it as here in the United States.
Some examples of daft stickers I've seen in the last month or so: 'Heart attacks - God's revenge for eating his animals'; 'My kid was inmate of the month in the County Jail'.
My current favourite is 'Eschew Obfuscation'. The owner of this vehicle must be striving desperately to attain intellectual levels beyond most of us.
Signs on shop windows also are worthy of note. This sign is on permanent display at a tattoo parlour in Lexington: 'Tattoos while you wait'. Another one I saw plastered across the window of Victoria's Secrets (a ladies underwear store) during the annual sale: 'Bras half off!' Peter Inch, Lexington, Kentucky, USA
