Have you noticed how retailers are getting a little more imaginative with their advertising material etc.? I suppose the hairdressers started it off... and this is NOT an excuse for anybody to recycle yet again all those shop names like "Curl Up and Dye", we have seen those so many times. Last week it was reported that a Glasgow oriental restaurant was advertising its "Chinese Burns Night", which I quite liked and while visiting a nearby town this week I saw a baked potato shop located next door to a gentleman's outfiters, it had in its window a six foot high picture of a baked potato with the slogan "Jackets Made To Measure".

There's a greengrocer near me selling fresh fruit and veg. called "Peas and Cue's" (clever I thought)
