Radio 4's Saturday Live has as one of its guests this morning photographer Martin Parr. Not only is he one of the UK's leading snappers but, apparently, his various collections of ephemera (stretching from 1970's detergent packaging to commemorative miners' strike plates) are also highly regarded as a valid catalogue of society and as a social study in themselves.
This notion of "stuff" certainly appeals to the hoarder - and untidy bugger - in me and I was amused to hear of his various items of Obama memorabilia, particularly these boxers...
Nice. But how long are you supposed to give it before switching to another of his campaign slogans?
