Dead woman walking!

Today, it is exactly 54 years ago that Ruth Ellis, who was convicted of murder, was hanged. She was the last woman who was executed in the UK.

If the bars were in such bad state back then, Ruth would have lived for many more years.

The bars remind me of teeth. Some have broken, some are loose. There are gaps and the colour must have been different when the builder first put them in.

If the wall is still ok, all you need to pimp the cell is a bit of Hammerite metal paint and some new bars. It will cost money, of course, but in the end it will definitely keep the bad lads (or lassies) in and the saw in the cake out.

Suppose for a minute that your teeth look like these bars....

An NHS-dentist would probably tell you to have them all taken out and put ugly, after-one-month-already-ill-fitting dentures in.

A private dentist would probably tell you that, for 20.000 Pounds, he would be able to do a full reconstruction.

After you have recovered from this bad news, please ask what we can offer you. You may not want to do it openly yet, but deep inside, you will smile!
