In the early 80's Jeremy Clarkson advertised Mansfield Bitter under the slogan "Not much matches Mansfield". Weird.

[Chris]

Pretty much everything surpasses it, however.

The Texas of the East Midlands…...if Texas was full of heroin addicts and surly Eastern European characters wearing discounted sportswear and drinking endless cans of Lech lager.

Houston is a large, diverse city.  I'm pretty sure I can find just such a neighborhood to make you feel at home, Gav.

That's brilliant… But how do we know a pig's nose is an item of comfort?.. 

In other news: changed energy supplier... My province does an annual auction where they let suppliers make their best (cheapest) offer for families, whom can then subscribe... Second year I'm doing this... But now I'm apparently also eligible for a free boiler maintenance... Nice: my certificate expires may 2015 and it costs around 100 € to have it done.

Happy pig (perhaps in spite of the nose)...

My sister's boyfriend said, "My memory of Barrow is whisky, hangover, A&E."

Sounds like Mansfield, just with a better grade of alcohol!

I have been thinking for some time how to illustrate the fabrics (new website will have a tab for "Fabric Details").

How's this?  Images will always be cropped to the same scale and displayed at the same size…

[hajduk]

great to read at will be more fabric details! cool!

[trail and arrow]

great idea,
but would use a thinner ruler (could be a virtual one).

[Giles]

I have not been able to find a thinner white on black set square.  I want a heavy set square so that it holds the fabric flat and also a set square gives me right angles to ensure my perspective is correct when I edit it (which thus, I think, means a virtual one does not help with that).
I'm open to a better way of doing this, but it needs to be easy to do with minimum post shot processing else it becomes a chore…
