BARGEPOLE, besides being an object, is also a British expression; a shortened form of 'I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole.'
It means 'no way.'
An example: 'Do you have a Facebook page' and I could answer 'Bargepole.'

For the letterheads, this is inspired by a 1817 Vincent Figgins typeface.

@jill_strong Great letter head! and nicely sliced... Is that digital handy work or do you use some tool for such neat presentation? It could persuade some Instagram escapees to come over this way.

@martijn_geerdes @jill_strong Yes, we need more sign painting here!

I think that pixelfed (which we can obviously follow from mastodon) might be where people from the instagram community start setting up shop.

Fingers crossed either way 🤞🏼

Hello. Yeh - I forgot about Mastodon for a while... it never became a habit but I'm going to try posting here before posting on Insta for a while. Just see what happens 😉
