The High Street
What is a High Street? Well, the
term "High Street" infers two or three things to me. Firstly
the natural high brought on by shopping. Secondly the high of "high
art" or "high fashion" which can be experienced in shops
like Marks & Spencers or Sketchleys.
Then of course there's the "Street".
This to me implies a sort of Janet Street-Porter sort of street. And
by this I mean the high street can be an ugly and deeply distressing
place where people talk in a really stupid way because of their horribly
cantilevered teeth.
This is a street
from the olden days. Everything was black and white back then,
right up until Hitler bombed some colour into us. The arrow
in this picture marks the spot on Taunton High Street where
several WW2 bombs fell. Luckily a brave local man used only
his face to bat the bombs away to safety.
...If
you visit this spot today you'll see a plaque which reads: The
people of Taunton say well done to Roger Cratt, who fearlessly
used his awful face as an anti-air raid tennis racket and saved
this branch of Shoe Express by wacking several earth bound explosives
down towards the bank.

On our local
high street Snoop and I visited a typical newsagents shop.
The shop keeper's name was Waxy and had only four teeth. He
told us that the type of magazines found on his shelves adequately
reflected
the kind of society we live in today. Here's just a sample
of the more unusual journals he managed to knock down off
the shelf with the cricket bat he keeps under the counter..

NON-READERS
WIVES
|
Non-Readers
Wives was described
thus: "Mostly very nice." Will Self in The Times
Literary Supplement
'Do
you hang around for hours in the newsagents even though you're
illiterate? Can't seem to find the right kind of journal for
you? Fed up with Gay Hamster Insertion Monthly? Had enough
of OAPs In Mud? Too many difficult words in Varicose
Voyeur? Then get your self a copy of
Non-Readers
Wives*
today.
Its packed full of naked women whose no-brain husbands are completely
unable to read. Honestly! It's a wonder they can even operate
a camera!
*If
the top shelf in your mag shop is too high to reach then you
can either get your mum to help you or just nudge one down with
a long stick. Dont worry, the newsagent won't mind. He's
probably too ripped to the tits on meths and dope to even notice.

Snoop also found this mag in
the Pet Section. The complete range of magazines for dogs looked
like this: Ball Chaser, Stick Chaser, Fetch!, Pant, Growl, Yapper,
Modern Yapper, Snapper, Crapper, Cat Scene, Postman, Leg & Lamppost,
Country Leg & Lamppost, Sniff, Sniffer, UK Sniffing, Crotch Sniff,
Butt Sniff, Sniffin' Around, Wet Nose, Howler and Crotch Inspector
Quarterly. The most notable titles we found curiously missing
from the shelves were Modern Bitch, Dogue, Sm-Elle, Waggy Tail
and the dog news organs Newshound, Bone Digger, Tracker and Modern
K9 Digest. |
