The Haberdashery heaven that is Wayward is having a closing down sale today!

Run run run!

But don’t worry too much, they are opening again in what used to be McCarrons.

It’s WWPTD (What Would Punteresque Thompson Do? But without the drugs, guns or Samoan lawyers)

A Christmas Pudding leftovers hint

Norman — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:10:01 +0000

Left over Xmas pudding always a problem?

Get rid of it with lashings of guilt; here is how:

Slice Xmas pud, dip into sugar to coat it.

Fry in Butter.

Serve with something rich and creamy and boozy. Ah, Brandy butter.

From the Prue Leith “Guilty Secrets” cookery course.

Just imagine, if you will..

Loadsa Chrissy winders in St Leonards, from the sublime to the gor blimey!

This one was sooo contemporary:

Norman and Punteresque decided it had everything the Bien Pensant are chattering about;

Eiffel Tower for la belle Frogland’s duplicity
Mercedes symbol for German industrial hegemony
Italian Ski Lodge for Crimbo bunga bunga

And all in military grade marshmallow. So Clever! So Now!

(But you wonder where the smell of Old Lady pee comes from. Do non Norman Road caffs have the most genteel street drinkers in Sussex? Answers ona Post Card. Phhhnarr!)

So Not Norman Road.

Ceramic “artists”

Norman — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:19:33 +0000

Punteresque Thompson, the mystery shopper who kno all^TM points out why Ceramic “artists” are Ceramic “artists”.

Its because their toys make such a lovely breaking sound when they are thrown from the pram.

Cycling

Norman — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:21:02 +0000

Did you know that next year you will be able to cycle from Bexhill to Hastings?

Utterly fabulous n’est pas?

Mr Thompson, Norman’s cousin thrice removed, has opened a book that it will be quicker than the road when the Olympic flame comes through, and is setting up a spoof toll en route.

We too will be having a grand opening ceremony with loud bangs provided by our Eastern European and Russian chums who live amongst us with such elan.

Investors welcome.

Christmas Hissy fits, Buy one get one free!

Norman — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:23:03 +0000

But none on Norman Road I’m afraid. Some damned fine shopping in SHOP, where Eras of Style used to be, but only good cheer, serenity and bonza karma on Norman Road.

For Hissy fits, down the hill, right and right again, missing the big wet bit. Look for a big boaty thing.

After a SEOpressor?

Euro ‘aving a laff!

“Pay in Euros Sir? Certainly. There is a small 500% surcharge, doncha kno?*”

*But you get a free haircut.

Or Yay! Strikey Wednesday. All the Public sector goes strikey, class war rediscovered by ‘leadership’, not many go shopping.

This is a picture of Tumbleweed taken tomorrow in Norman Road.

No shoppers, shopkeepers or strikey bretheren were harmed in the taking of this picture.
