    They've even got a telescope so you can distract yourself and imagine you are in another part of the galaxy.

    My father used to buy carpets like that. He was colour blind.

    Yes, scarecrow but I doubt he is for the bonfire, we have festivals just for scarecrows in the summer round these parts.

    Or they just didn't 'get' it possibly? Like people who inadvertently give unfortunate first names in combination with their family names to their children. Either way it made me laugh!

    I was (genuinely) at nursery school with a girl named Helen Highwater. It was years before I understood why grown ups thought her name was amusing.
