One page of one of the 6d Series books had drawings and descriptions of "The French Onion Seller" and "the Knife Sharpening Bicycle" with points on offer for spotting either. The latter may have been something like this..

Funny what captures your interest as you mooch around those places with antiques, Bric a Brac, general tat and 1950's/60's I-Spy books!
Come on, you can't get any more "niche" than this....
Fortunately I have snow chains for both my car and company van, as well as 'snow chains' for my feet. It will make for an interesting day though.
I have heard of people who peel the sprouts, gently cook the leaves and then add bacon lardons. That seems to get around people not liking them.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

I think I'd prefer them coated in chocolate rather than bacon fat James
Hope you don't have to go very far today James but I guess with the general population desperate to empty their wallets before the New Year I guess you're rushed off your feet at the moment...
Lymington, Southampton, Guildford, and (if there is time) Hemel Hempstead, based on the calls I had sent down to me. Things can always change.
These are the sort of things I have on my feet. I gave some to my Mum a few years ago. She reckoned they saved her from serious injury when her dog suddenly pulled at an awkward angle (whilst on the lead) and she was able to keep her footing on hard rutted ground.

Bloody Hell James, that's a heck of a lot of travelling Poor you I can only wish you well and trust the roads remain mercifully free of idiots on a day like today...
Some young school children were recently shown some of those, and a VHS tape and player. It took them quite some time to work out what those last two did.
