Keeping a Smile on Your Face

Stockport 6, originally uploaded by loscuadernosdejulia.

When economic crisis struck at the end of 2008, in Russia people were collecting jokes and comic sketches in the attempt to laugh off the looming doom. I wrote about it in November.

And then at the end of January I went to Stockport where I had a nice walk and took some photos - including the one you're looking at now. The sign was adorning a closed eatery, but the owners did their best to keep up the good spirits.
