Especially if you're gay, straight, or bisexual.

I think it's great. It took me from embarrassment, through realising how ridiculous these labels mostly are, to laughing with them. I think it draws attention to Robert Dyas whilst making a serious point with humour. Brilliant! I'm not expecting everyone to agree though.

Eh? Looked pretty standard to me. And no 'wobbly camera' attempts to make it look 'real' either.

I like Robert Dyas. As near as you find these days to an Aladdin's cave hardware shop and they keep stores going in places like Fleet Street and Holborn.

Damned handy on many occasions both for home and office stuff. A carved wooden bear presented to the Quango chair by a Russian delegation whose visit we'd facilitated* arrived with a paw snapped off in transit. Dyas PVA ensured the damage was invisible when pictures were exchanged.

*Another of those 'is it really ten years ago' moments.
