Some months back I drew your attention to the latest shop mannequins, their pose suggesting we were all in a rush, go, go, go. At the time I thought it was a one off, but what I saw the other day left me pondering whether store dummies, and their not so dumb window dresser managers, are actually the barometers of a nation’s mood.

If so then the current batch appears to be either …
- Suggesting we have a deep shame of our hips (hmm possible)

- Or maybe they are just utterly bored. With the world on sale and the relentless election coverage, maybe they have a point.
