Merddyn, your question about your own shot. That asks just what I was thinking of asking you!!!! The more you look at it, the spookier it becomes.

I get the impression that it is a bather diving away from the group, it looks like a hand in front of his/her face .

Yes, there's at least two, and maybe three layers of Ads on that sign.  I can make out the word 'MOTOR' third line down.

There's an excellent blog here for anyone interested in that sort of stuff:

top line is DEACON'S and underneath in script diagonally is JONES.  Last line may be DEALER or TRADER.  Someone will come up with the answer!       )*)&
