As someone who grabs whatever small pleasures are going...  ....I always like the ambiguous label on one of the apple-fragranced shampoos. "Wet hair and apply shampoo" Is it an instruction for how to use it or a list of the items you need? George, Does this come from the same Treasure Trove of Simple Pleasures as `Alarmed Door` and `Boo!` ?  |

Indeed it does, Morticia.  M&S is a rich source. As well as 'Alarmed Door' they have those 'No Smoking. Except Guide Dogs' signs and on their Ready Meals for One  'Before cooking, remove sleeve and film'. |

There is a door in Richmond, Surrey that is `Alarmed 24 hours a day`. Poor thing.  |

 Treasure trove  Bare arm I understand now George is some kind of a man with lots of treasures and arms. He is a good catch for any lady (as my friend said about her husband). |

Returning to guide dogs, what are we to make of "No Dogs. Except Guide Dogs"? (Can they be taught to read?)

t-p, with your ref to George as "some kind of a man with lots of treasures and arms" I now expect to see him take the lead in Bluebeard's Castle...

This is George's house. We solved the mistery. I am sure there is the second and third floor there and some parts are also closed.  I think it is very impressive, George. |
