An advert for a Wallet & Grimace talking ‘alamrm clock’ made by Newby’s of Molford. The front of the box shows a clock with two badly made modelling clay figures sprouting from the top, not closely enough resembling Aardman’s Wallace and Gromit to trouble their legal department. The text reads: “Wakes you up with a choice of four phrases. "You owe me big time" / "Time's up" / "In your dreams, pal" / "About fucking time". Distressingly persistent.”

A teaser torn from the front page of a local newspaper. It reads: “Offer! A photo of your dog printed on your cat.” Next to it is a picture of a cat looking pretty miffed that it’s got a picture of a dog printed onto its fur. It’s not even well printed, either. It looks like the kind of thing you’d get done on a pillowcase at Snappy Snaps as a last minute gift for a little-liked work employee who was moving on to pastures new.
