Thanks for sending the material, Shambles! That's a nice slice of life there.

Shepherd's crooks are found everywhere--lamps, curtain rods, jewlery, ornaments of all sorts. A friend of mine completed a fundraiser this summer in Greenwich Village, New York, to put a Shepherd's Crook lamppost outside one of the oldest bars (also one of the oldest gay bars) in the area. They've been trying to get rid of those ugly modern "cobra head" lamps.

Here are what they look like.

Now how to direct this conversation back to tea cosys, eh?
