Fortune Teller, Bonny Street, 2000

It always struck me as odd that the 'fortune teller' never painted over this advert properly -even three years after Diana died. It seemed like an advertisement for their own incompetence.

I had seen a few people trying to take a picture of the sign shooed away by stall-holders as if recording an image would reveal a shameful secret  about the place.

Princess Diana is the de-facto patron saint of Blackpool; the combination of aggressive sentimentality and resigned fatalism apparently impossible to resist for some.
