Sorting through the mail that arrived over the holidays. Two excellent pieces of direct marketing.

First of all, this rather alarming letter.

I know times are tough, but I didn't realise our position was quite this desperate. Must remember to check with our FD Bronwen.

Then, to calm me down after that economic crisis, this brilliant door-drop from a curry house near where I live.

Splendid for many different reasons, not least that The Darkness split up in 2006. Can I have my free Bombay potato now?
