Inchcape!

[caddyman]

I'm sure that I've blogged about about this before, but quite when, I don't know. Some years ago around the beginning of December, I guess (I recall it was driving through Norwich either on the way to or from -or both- that year's GASP weekend, which is why I have a rough idea of the time of year, if not the year of time).

It's the name Inchcape, see. I understand that that they are car and van dealers, although I see from their website that they claim to provide automotive solutions (!). Does no-one just sell anything any more? How long before the local supermarket advertises itself as purveyors of nutrition solutions? Be that as it may, when ever I see the name, "Inchcape" I see in my mind's eye, the world's smallest superhero.¹. That said, I have no definite idea as to what he can do or what he looks like.

Sounds like it's time for a pointless poll then, to brighten a Thursday morning:


[Poll #1437130]

Edited to add: Of course, I forgot to add flying to the list, so we shall assume thet he can fly in addition to anything else he can do. It's only fair given he's such a short-arse.

¹Instant demerit for anyone who mentions Ant-Man or the Atom, thus spoiling my reverie.

Invulnerability: largely because people keep treading on him. Goodie, but frustrated goodie because he can't help with some of life's larger problems.

See, I considered Superstrength, because then he could hold up the people that kept treading on him, but as there's only one option allowed it had to be TK as he'd need the strength to stop things plus the reach to get to stuff a long way away (comparatively natch!)

Solutions. integrated solutions for your (fill-in-an-adjective) lifestyle. American advertising has been like this for years, it's ridiculous, and it sounds like you're catching up! I remember when I first left the country how odd it sounded to hear things like "this service provides your children with the tools they need to do their homework." In the US it would have provided them with the tools they need to enhance blah blah blah success and personal fulfillment etc.
