Hmmm. The lovely woman is striking what we would call a "Rosie the
Riveter" pose, i.e., US iconography. Nothing wrong with that, of
course, but somewhat surprising that US pop culture going back to WWII
is recognizable in modern Britain. Was there a British counterpart?
There must have been.
Rachel is not exactly the peaches and cream type depicted in the
original Rosie posters, but she's well worth the digits.
