Tongue in cheek ........???

......or at least I think the writers of this window sign were.......I wonder how many people peek????

In Glasgow today finishing the Christmas shopping, all done bar one or two wee things now. Passed Nelson Mandela Place on the way back to the Central Station.....and got my blip at Urban Outfitters there.

Nelson Mandela Place was originally St George's Place. Glasgow City Council signalled its support for the campaign to free Nelson Mandela by renaming the street in honour of the political prisoner in 1986, much to the annoyance of staff in the South African consulate there.

Jim Kerr was lead singer and founder member of Glasgow rock band Simple Minds, formed in 1978. During the 1980s they established themselves as one of the most popular acts in the country, with hits such as Don't You Forget About Me and Belfast Child and a series of successful albums. The group helped organise and performed at two Nelson Mandela tribute concerts in 1988 and 1990, the second of which was attended by the newly-released Mandela himself.

I remember the second concert in particular as it was in George Square, Glasgow, and the place was rockin', and Nelson Mandela was a great 'turn' ...... he was the guest of honour, but he sang and danced with us.
