>The more upmarket stores were not amused. This brash advertising was having a damaging effect on the street scene. Their classy customers shouldn't have to walk past all these immigrants brandishing large signs.

Have they *been* to Oxford Street lately? There can surely be few less pleasant shopping streets to walk down in the world...

(I understand the Central Market in Mogadishu - scene of Black Hawk Down - may be marginally worse.)
