QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“Foreigners somehow expect the squares of London to be fog-weaved, full of hansom cabs and littered with ripped whores.”

- Pub customer to Richard Blaine, lamenting the lack of a decent series of sex murders while noting how good they are for tourism.

Hitchcock’s Frenzy, 1971.
