How come I never find these things? Well magic jelly did. Thanks Susan.

London Bridge Bus Station

I have never been, but they serve quality hot & cold food there. I think it is actually a nice ampersand. The tail to the ampersand seems to be an afterthought which is interesting to me.

Someone else has been collecting

Yes! Lots of cool stuff here.

Amperate T-shirt

Ben Writes: My firm, (Fwis) did an ampersand tshirt graphic a while back called Ampertate. Thought you’d enjoy it: Pretty awesome. Not sure if you can buy them.

I’ve been away…

Sorry for the brief hiatus. I had a friend in town, had a power cord catch on fire and was lazy. I have a ton of cool ampersand stuff to post so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the awesome backwards ampersand I found at a local wash & fold.
