An advert for a Wallet & Grimace talking ‘alamrm clock’ made by Newby’s of Molford. The front of the box shows a clock with two badly made modelling clay figures sprouting from the top, not closely enough resembling Aardman’s Wallace and Gromit to trouble their legal department. The text reads: “Wakes you up with a choice of four phrases. "You owe me big time" / "Time's up" / "In your dreams, pal" / "About fucking time". Distressingly persistent.”

An in loving memory classified torn from a local newspaper which reads:
"In Loving Memory
Angela Bleakley

Today is filled with memories
And loving thoughts of you,
Di dum di dum di something,
Di dum and things you do,
Forever something ever,
And something dum di dum,
As long as something something,
Something haircuts dum di dum.

A teaser torn from the front page of a local newspaper. It reads: “Offer! A photo of your dog printed on your cat.” Next to it is a picture of a cat looking pretty miffed that it’s got a picture of a dog printed onto its fur. It’s not even well printed, either. It looks like the kind of thing you’d get done on a pillowcase at Snappy Snaps as a last minute gift for a little-liked work employee who was moving on to pastures new.
