You've been Tango'd

I really think this blog should be read in the style of David Attenborough.

We were in the Merseyside suburb of Birkenhead last night witnessing an annual ritual performed by the species Homo Sapiens. They were frequenting the local watering holes in numbers rarely seen at other times of the year as they prepared for their mating dance later in the evening.

The explanation for this increase in activity can be attributed to the fact that the last Friday in January is the first pay day since Christmas and the New Year, and consequently the frustrations and stifled emotions of Homo Sapiens can be released. It is a rare sight, and one we were privileged to witness so unexpectedly

To prepare themselves for this particular activity, the female of the species has her own particular ritual which sees her make herself suitably conspicuous to her potential mate. This she achieves by burying herself in a habitat know as the tanning studio. In here females administer to each other coverings and lotions which are selected from a range of colours within the orange range of the light spectrum. Products easily obtained in the Merseyside area.

Belisha Beacon seems to be this years preferred shade, that should make them flash their wears at the right moment.
