I currently use one of those trays with a small cushion attached beneath it to sit my laptop on when here in the conservatory in my armchair. You know the sort – you can adjust the angle by moving the beads in the cushion to one side.
The picture shown here – by the wonderful Edward Monkton (who, I just learnt, shares an office with Mariella Frostrup the lucky bugger) is printed on top of my tray and every now and then I lift my laptop up to ask myself – am I normal?
We were in my local shopping mall today – Queensgate in Peterborough – a place I go strictly and only when necessary, an attitude that seems pretty normal to me. Plastered all over the windows of empty shops are posters that depict the centre’s new logo also shown here on the right.
In my usual, somewhat unobservant way, I was not the first to notice this but my wife drew my attention to it.
“Look at that” she said. “You can see that was designed with men in mind”.
Wondering what it was she was looking at and interrupting my usual focus of attention – which are the exits – I glanced up.
“Typical breast motif’ she added, pointing to the nearest poster.
“Ah yes” I replied. “I see what you mean”.
What I didn’t say at the time – but will own up to now – is that the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the logo… was the letter ‘Q’. Not breasts at all.
It’s a bit worrying.
I’m gonna stuggle here, maybe even dig a deep hole, but had the Q been rotated 45degrees anti-clockwise I would agree with Mrs YSF, but as it is I think it’s a Q, maybe someone has been looking in……. no I’ll stop RIGHT THERE.
I saw J. Wellington Wimpy but then I am on a lot of medication !

I’ll let my brother know, he is the marketing manager for the centre these days.
I always thought it looked like a table tennis bat with a short or broken handle.
Oh excellent. Nice to know I am not alone!
