Tan Your Hide!

Not a 70s Movie title, but an actual company working in the Midlands, meet: Wildman & Bugby

Apparently, they are 3rd generation family leather specialists!

Blimey.

Note: In the fiction of Ian Fleming, John LeCarré etc, British intelligence ran a number of bogus businesses around Great Portland Street as a front for their covert activities.

When I worked locally, opposite the tube there, there was an unassuming doorway with a brass plaque purporting to be "The British Rawhide Co." Now THAT is a front if I ever saw one.
