    It’s a race to the bottom.

    I don’t think this is funny at all! In fact, I find it offensive!!!!!

  • martin chalifour says:

    I heard about people ordering picture bows when they were being made by the likes of
    Simon , back in the day- This certainly adds a personal touch!

    And frankly, one usually looks through these old frogs only to find the boring, self-gratifying image of shop owner Vuillaume!
