L is for… Legs

I have only been to Madrid twice and on both occasions I came across various pairs of legs gone astray!

I was beginning to think it was a weird madrileño thing, but then look what I came across in Istanbul:

And if you think all this is strange, you should read this story from the British press, where a class of young children was evacuated from a swimming pool because a false leg was mistaken for a paedophile!

Postcript, summer 2014:
Yet more stray legs spotted (or should I say striped?) in Brighton:

P.S. Simone at Lady of the Cakes got there before me with the legs at La Latina

  1. I’d like a pair like those first legs, neat. Real Madrid did insure Christiano Ronaldo’s legs for £90M and happily for them they are still working well.

    • Someone must sell tights like that – I’ll let you know if I spot any 🙂

  2. Ever since I saw your comment on Lady of the Cakes I’ve been waiting for these, Debbie. They gave me such a big smile when I glimpsed the first pair in my Reader last night 🙂

  3. OK, the mannequins I can understand (though I shall be checking with Mrs Carmichael to see if she is missing something) but what are the first two photos all about?
