Peter sent this image over last night and my thanks to him for a Friday giggle. I wonder how I can get my hands on one of these bags?
It's from (quite obviously) Chellarams, the department store on the main drag in Ooty...just down the road from Charing Cross.
This bag suddenly reminded me of men we somewhat tactlessly called 'Roadside Romeos'. Do you remember them? Tight pants that fit ever so snugly...shirts tailored to nip in at the waist and left untucked...a James Dean haircut matched with a careless swagger...
And of course, there were the mandatory accessories: A wolf-whistle and The Comb. Small...plastic...either pink, or green...and tucked carefully into the back pocket of his pants. No self-respecting Romeo would be seen without his comb...stopping every now and then to flick his hair carefully back into place.
Perhaps they're in Aisle 'R' at Chellarams?
Priceless!
