“Wakefield Security & Fire” burglar alarm, Shoreham-by-Sea • A while ago I published an old Wakefield alarm with unfair accusations of sleepiness – so here’s a more up-to-date example, which is very wakeful indeed. It’s also one of only a four sounders I have found decorated with photographic images, the others being two birds and a chain. This looks like something out of a surrealist film, and is almost as unnerving as yesterday’s creepy eye sticker. The firm’s proprietor, in a comment below, explains that there’s also a globe reflected in the eye’s iris, though sadly it’s not visible in this photo. • Spotted: Town centre, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, BN43, England, 2005 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Worthing West
