Not taken from today's paper

Ok - I realise that this isn't an accurate portrayal of women drivers but, in an age where men's role in advertising is to be the stooge, the fall-guy or a general doormat in a woman's world, it's nice to remind ourselves that there was a time when gender bias went in the other direction.

I'm not sure when it's originally from - the late 60s maybe?

A what?

Saw this fantastic little bit of graffiti written on a For Sale sign on Long Lane the other day. A lessbeen? Is that supposed to be a lesbian? Or is Mary a has-been who never really made it in the first place? I'm assuming the former. Who's teaching these kids? As far as I'm concerned if you know what a lesbian is, you should know how to spell it.

Different, folks

Amazing how simply changing some music can make a familiar thing seem very very different. Best youtube clip I've seen forever.
