Two days after the 5 Boro, I’d still forgotten to take his frame tag off.
I’m pretty sure most old-school deities didn’t have to put up with carelessness like that.

Beautiful pic and excellent prose.
Thank you, Saul — I walked past, and then had to return. This just seemed like a Basil moment.
Really the Tah-Dah shot, well done!
5 Boro gave you frame tags? In blue painter’s tape?
Gag!
Thanks, Harry! Yes, we got tags for helmets, vest and frame. Not painter’s tape exactly (thougth the shade was right) but the gummy stuff you’d use in your home printer to make labels. I cheated a bit — there was no way I was sticking that stuff to Basil’s matte frame, so I left the backing sheet attached where the tag would have touched his frame, and just stuck the end bits together beneath the bar. Gag, indeed!
