Where I lived about 30 years ago a couple of our neighbours took the "opportunity" of a special photographic offer of studio prints of all your family at very special rates. Of course, the sting was the hard sell that would come at the end where you were asked to select your favourite snaps and order several, very expective prints in large format. My neighbour ended up with a 5ft by 3ft canvas print just above the living room mantlepiece, so that constantly staring down at him were the grim, unsmiling faces of his in-laws. Imagine settling down on the sofa to a warm, cuddly Saturday night with your wife under this chilling, unblinking gaze. I'll let you imagine it; it gives me the willies.
