the london twirls project

OK, I could just about accept Borders selling Twirls, but B&Q? Really? But, yes - in a vending machine near the tills, they sell all sorts of chocolates and sweets in what I guess is intended as a way of silencing bored youngsters as they are dragged around, while their parents pick out the particular type of solid wood flooring boards they want for the front room. B&Q is amazing though, it's the perfect shop if you're a serial killer - they sell everything.

In the Swiss city of Zug (the small place of the title) there's a small shop full on big ideas... -Welcome Sports- that, as well as selling sweet bags and bindings and blahblahblah, also make their own snowboards - with brilliant designs: like this one. Beautiful. <-
