In these galleries, it is our intent is to showcase some of the better, more interesting, wall signs photographed then and now. It is a long-overdue undertaking since, up until now, my sign photos have been stored in various places – boxes, drawers, slide holders, photo albums, mounted and framed, and more. The task of creating a website causes me to take inventory – nearly four decades worth – and to ponder anew the value and meaning of this quaint advertising genre and, perhaps most satisfying, place them all under one roof, so to speak.

The group also doubled down on yesterday’s claims about the proportion of gay to straight people at Glastonbury festival, saying 99% of people they asked said they were straight, and the other 1% said they “used to be gay”. Straight Pride UK describes itself as: “A small group of people campaigning for the same rights as homosexuals, the right to Pride..”, its website goes on to claim that the British Government only listens to the gay community, and that heterosexuals are overlooked. Today, as London geared up for its annual Pride in London LGBT pride event, Straight Pride claimed that it is “not easy being straight”, as straight people are “persecuted” daily. Being straight is not easy under the circumstances of our society.
