I was also much impressed by this unsteamupable panel in my hotel bathroom mirror. See how the mirror edges are steamed up to buggery, but the centre section remains clear. There's convenient. | Click to see full-size image. |

Very simple as well - they just have an element running behind the glass. Shame that one had the element going as far as it did to the left... |

I noticed these strange things growing by the water's edge. I wonder what they are? They look like feet. | Click to see full-size image. |

what did you think of the programme Tom? I like the series, the idea behind it and the characters a lot but I thought this episode reinforced a lot of the prejudices that exist for the Gypsy communities. Probably because back in the early 1980s, when the series is now set, they were very prevalent, more so than they are now? |

Same way with the masons and the role of women, etc. Talking of women, is it just me or does anyone else find Keeley Hawes very, very sexy? |

I read the synopsis of "Ashes To Ashes" in my Sunday Observer TV guide and it gave it a fairly complementary write-up and said that it used virtually every Gypsy cliche in the book, whilst spelling Gypsy twice(!) with a lower-case "g". |

I'm sure that's the writers' intentions but this only works if thinking has moved on. If it hasn't then it's reinforcing the stereotypes rather than laughing at them. |
