Tic-Tac, Teddy Bears and Teardrop Tattoos unlocks the secret world of signs and symbols, salutes and handshakes, sayings and slangs and puts you firmly on the inside track. Whether youˇ¦re at a football match or in a graveyard, in a museum or at the cinema, you can eavesdrop on a hundred different communications meant for someone elseˇ¦s eyes ˇV or ears ˇV only. You will discover how to greet a Scout or a Mason, how to read prison tattoos and pub signs, how to spot gang members and swingers. Is the drawing-pin on that telegraph pole the tradecraft of a spook? Did that IT guy just call you an idiot? Why is the pole outside a barberˇ¦s shop white and red? This book has the answers to these and much, much more.
