Window watching

A growing series of quirky window messages and perspectives from around London.
Windows have been around for a long time - the Romans invaders even had a glass substance that sealed the chilly British air - and stench - from their sensitive Roman noses.
Nowadays, I'm attracted to the labelling and messaging that becomes attached to the inside or outside of panes of glass, as if they are urban, public post-it notes for anything an individual wishes to share or advertise.
Sometimes the message can be a warning, a cry for help or just an accidental freak of mis-spelling that somehow confuses meanings from that intended.
(See also the gallery called 'Bust - The Art of Recession' which narrows down this obsession to those windows of closed businesses).
