Sleeping dogs lie
At the weekend I went to Cribbs Causeway, Bristol, with my Gran (she's cool, ex-army, tough-as-you-like). We went to 'The Mall'. The best thing I saw there was a 6- or 7-year-old girl wearing a t-shirt with a big print of Russia's best dictator ever on the front, and the legend 'Joseph Stalin' written underneath. I have no idea what it meant. Perhaps there is a Bristol youth neo-Rusky league that circulate the building in order to convince folk that 'ThE mALL', though it was supposed to have been built in 5 years, was actually completed in 10 weeks. Not very funny.
