Good thing
Photo index, 99p The problem with photographic negatives lies in the slightly vague process of holding hundreds of them up to the light and squinting through unrecognisable lunar-looking landscapes and people who appear to be B-movie special effects to track down your favourite shot for enlargement. SupaSnaps stores accross the country can now print the whole film in miniature to form a postcard-sized contact sheet showing all the photos at a glance. Each picture has its own identification number which corresponds to the correct negative to be used.
Mad thing
Florida flamingoes, pounds 25 a pair If you wake up on your birthday and find your lawn peppered with plastic flamingoes matching your age in number, someone who loves you has been struck by North American lawn culture. Kitsch and Chic, purveyors of funky plastic products, are encouraging this trans-Atlantic tradition with their Florida Flamingoes, along with a general call for "fun, colour and a much more relaxed environment". Their more orthodox products are geared towards the bathroom and kitchen - or should that be kitschen.
