Booth just whispered to him about his plans and he looks a little surprised and p!ssed at the same time.

Joke's on you gino, those are window thieves, they are all working simultaneously on different window seals, loosening them up, so they can pluck them all in 3 and a half minutes flat and disappear. The fine dresswear is to assure any and everybody else they are a legit outfit. (this of course being prior to the invention of the clipboard)
You see the same strategies still in use by used car salesmen, insurance salesmen, etc...

Guess what else they didn't have back then? FATSOS. It's really only in the last 30 years that the general population became so overweight.

Boudica - that 1950s housewife was high/stoned/drunk all day long, guaranteed.

Nothing is stopping you. I try to be just like her every day of my life and have been good about hiding the empties around my shop in case customers come by. :toasting:

I have a collection of vintage print shop images if anyone's interested. The workers all looked healthy & happy, not like the bloated, drug-addled angry pressmen you see nowadays.
