I have been taking an assortment of photos in preparation for for another quiz – but are you all up for it? Here is a sample … what is going on here with the yellow and red things?

of course ready for another quiz – beats reading the government’s new white paper on Industrial Strategy…..answer – to protect bags from rain/snow
Thank you for your enthusiasm- but poor Claire having to read that stuff! And sorry – wrong answer but good guess.
Hiding the dogs from the restaurant owner. . . OR: the extra-large doggie-bag for that moment of midnight-feast desperation. . .
OR a bit of extreme risk mitigation ( the plastic sheets, we think, were there to guard against stray coffee drops falling on customers ‘ coats or bags).
They have stopped in for cokes on the way to the launderette with their washing?
I have this feeling that Japanese people would NOT carry their dirty washing in any way that was identifiable – these plastic sheets were in any case delivered to each table irrespective of what you were carrying
Under red cover is a cat box under yellow cover a live dog
Or
Covers are places customers’ shopping to prevent contamination
Wish it were the former, but you are right! It is the latter. We are agreed that it is definitely an indication of cultural OCD!
This was a coffee shop – contamination risks generally quite small
Must be some of those lively crabs. Saw a woman in a French market trying to carry two of them home in a plastic bag – waving claws everywhere!
Not waving or drowning I suspect…
Next? I think we were missing a significant clue because we didn’t know that everyone had one, but congratulations to Lian!
Yes, you’re right – so difficult to get quiz governance in order.
