CAGED BOOZE

Shops with cages and barriers protecting the staff are the best, they remind me of Edward Hopper paintings and always look so inviting. This is my favourite one on the corner of All Saints Road where my brother claims to have found a dismembered finger when he was eleven(ish).







Josie (on the left) lives round the corner from a great one in Manchester which has an incredible set of 20p machines. Initially I was loving the gold jewellery but after five identical scratchy rings that rapidly turned my finger green I switched to a new machine, trolls are clearly so much better.
