Also known as the surrealist alphabet, the alphabet has been presented in the style of an old-fashioned bus blind and is just under 183cm tall. Don't worry if some of the humour escapes you, as they've also put in the explanations in brackets.

We've had a design influenced by retro robots only recently, with Clifford Richards' clocks, but you can pick up a replica of one of the original toy robots from Bodie and Fou who are selling this Lilliput Robot collectible.
The Lilliput robot first appeared in Japan in the 1940s and was thought to be the first mass produced robot toy. This replica of that first robot, produced by Fantastic & Co, includes a wind-up key that allows the robot to move forward with its arms swinging.
Strictly a piece for adults, rather than kids, the robot costs £9.95

A real gem on eBay right now – this 1969 Porsche 912.
Its appeal lies in its originality. There are likely to be some that are around in better condition, but this one is pretty much as it was in the late 60s. According to the seller, the exterior is 'presentable', chrome is in 'good condition', while door tops, over riders and trim are 'all very nice'.
Other details include original 5-inch chrome wheels and caps, original headlights and turn signals, an interior that's 'complete' and some original documentation, if that's important to you. £6,101 is the current price.

Even the most perfectly chosen retro dress is nothing without the right footwear and accessories, making it tempting to snap up hundreds of pairs to suit every outfit. These Polka Dot Courts from New Look are the ideal choice to pair with a wide variety of looks, making accessorising simpler.
The shoes are subtle and classic, with a round toed court shape that is versatile. A stiletto heel adds some vampish appeal, while the polka dot is a sweet touch that lends itself to day or night time looks. Also available in black, this red pair capture a great fifties feel that doesn't need to try too hard to work perfectly.
They're available now from New Look for just £22.99.
When a mainstream fifties look is the inspiration, it's most often florals that modern designers look to, eschewing the more daring niche looks of rockabilly and pin-up styles from the era. This Poppy Print Dress by Red Herring manages the sweetness of a floral fifties look without being too saccharine.
The use of red and black is a classic combination that adds a tougher edge than many natural floral prints, with the poppies retaining the retro feel. The dress has a simple but effective cut, with capped sleeves and a high waistline allowing a swing style skirt to balance the silhouette.
It's available now from Debenhams for £35.
This Floral Sasha Dress from high street favourite Phase Eight is a breath of fresh air with it's blowsy roses and fabulous fifties shape.
The skirt is demure, falling to the knee, but has a lovely full shape that will give a real swish as you walk. An embellished belt nips you in at the waist and a tailored bodice and modest but flattering neckline give a great silhouette.
Perfect with an up-do, a pastel cardigan and wedge espadrilles.
