One of my favourite little pop culture facts is that John Le Mesurier was a massive fan of Earth Wind & Fire and would often unwind by listening to them whilst smoking a massive joint.

I love the fact that the wardrobe Sid and Bernie used for this film was the same that James Bond used in OHMSS, filmed in Pinewood around the same time.

I’ve never come across this immensely stylish WW2 information poster before. It looks almost like a frame from β€˜The Third Man’.

Image depicts the following, which is the text transcription. It's very cute! "Lemon Piglet (11) For good luck in the New Year, a lemon piglet is a must! Insert four toothpicks into a lemon for legs. Slit pointed end for mouth to hold shiny penny, and two cuts for the ears. Eyes are cloves.  Crush and curl foil for silly tail."

Spotted in the toilets at Stafford Services.

Imagine how much somebody had to hate Ian Price to go to the effort of printing up sticky labels for this purpose.

This is a level of petty spite that I can get behind.
