Today's Webtip: Scarfolk

Cultural relics of a dystopian past.

I really don't know how to describe today's find. It's a blog featuring, well, things. Posters, books, signs....

Memories of a place called Scarfolk.

Scarfolk Public Information Bureau

Perhaps I'll just quote the site:

Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread.

I have no idea why it stickles my famcy, but it does it in all the right places.
