Mrs Gubbins and Her Infatuation With Buttons

Our popular item Mrs Gubbins Recommends has been suspended while that dear old crone remains in police custody. Rather than leave readers bereft of exciting links to pursue, we asked her colleague Matilda Choctaw to ghost-write the column on a temporary basis. Here is her first contribution:

“That Mrs Gubbins has a complete mania for buttons. Velcro, zips, and other fastening methods are completely foreign to her. That being the case, and ignoring the fact that she is facing serious criminal charges, I wish to honour her by pointing Hooting Yard readers in the direction of the Buttonarium. Now, where did I leave my crutches?”
