Doing the Saturday slalom along a packed Queens Street this afternoon, I was handed a card for a Christian organisation called Victory Outreach:
"NOW OR NEVER
Choose a life free from drug abuse, alcoholism and crime
We are here to help you find: hope, dignity, respect, purpose, restoration"
"Restoration"? Really? That conjures up images of being polished and re-upholstered and appearing on 'Antiques Roadshow' in the company of Middle Englanders with pound signs for eyes. No thanks.
Incidentally, I'd like to think that I wasn't singled out by the bloke just because I was making a very undignified and disrespectful job of eating a Gregg's peppered steak bake.
