Day V

Following on from today's tutorial with the lengthy discussion about McDonals, today I have prepared the "Headline double-header"; the double-whammy; the Big Mac, BK Whopper or Footlong Sub of this newspaper headline based feast, all served up on the usual blue door.

With fractionally less writing to appease Hugh (although the border remains because as well as liking it; I actually use it for the very reason suggested for its' removal - the connotations of an uncropped image and as someone who does everything possible to acheive the desired composition in camera to avoid cropping, that's important to me), here it is in all it's chipped, faded and flaky glory:

Thursday is traditionally the day of publication for my local newspaper, the Somerset Standard, so I was keen to include that if, on the off-chance their lead story had any relevance to something going on in the world outside of a small Somerset market town. By chance their lead story: "Driver's miracle escape." was deemed sufficiently relevant to what the Times were going on about with "Huge rise in traffic is choking the roads." (Can't resist: Choking the roads? Probably isn't doing much for the environment either, but I suppose that may be a story for the Guardian to get it's teeth into ...) so I slapped them both on and I too hit the road.

Today's location continues to bring a visual connection to the news into my work and is a car dealership, a place that sells new cars to add to those already on the road.
