Have you ever wondered what ‘GPO’ means on your medical notes, why the tannoy is calling for ‘Inspector Sands’, or why there’s a fish on the car in front? There are thousands of signs and signals going on around you every day – on the street, on TV, in a bar, even in the shape of a building – that only make sense to people ‘in-the-know’. Until now.
Tic-Tac, Teddy Bears and Teardrop Tattoos unlocks the secret world of signs and symbols, salutes and handshakes, and puts you firmly on the inside track. Whether you’re at a football match or in a graveyard, in a museum or at the cinema, you can eavesdrop on a hundred different communications meant for someone else’s eyes – or ears – only.
You will discover how to greet a Scout or a Mason, how to read prison tattoos and pub signs, how to spot gang members and swingers. Is the drawing-pin on that telegraph pole the tradecraft of a spook? Did that IT guy just call you an idiot? Why is the pole outside a barber’s shop white and red? Tic-Tac, Teddy Bears and Teardrop Tattoos has the answers to these and much, much more.
