The first day of my holidays was beautifully warm and sunny.
We went for a quick jaunt to Carlingford where I spotted this
sign at an antique shop.

Great find! A lot of local camera shops have closed down around here. They were unable to compete with the larger stores and the internet. It's a sad thing to see. ~V~

Well spotted. I don't suppose J.E.B. were part of the digital revolution. V.

.....And everything bad in sign making ;-) Great find

I can tell that you're on holiday since your PAD's been posted a few hours earlier than usual. I would have thought that E.G.I.P stood for that, but it's probably poetic licence on the part of the sign writer. These kinds of objects always inspire some wonder about what their story was.
