I was looking at some hieroglypics and was struck by the bold horizontal lines and reminded of the coop's slashes around the wheel arches. Coupled with the curvature of the wheel there was a similarity with their eye make up also, so was it inspired, did Bangle walk like an eygptian?

You will need to post an example!

Call me sensitive, but I think I note a degree of scepticism there Kevin, we have a permanent Tutankhamun in Dorchester exhibition in Dorchester and if you at the hieroglypics section there are lots of swiggly dashes that look like the coop slashes, alas no cameras allowed. If you need more proof just think of a pyramid, it's well known that Bangle was traumitised by being forced to play the triangle in the school navity hence his obvious dislike of sharp straight lines. It is clear that the coop design was inspired by this as there isn't a single straight line on it.Obviously he overcome his early musical setbacks and went on to form his own girl band with the family name.

Well, apart from one over each wheel, which is where you started

There's always one bright spark, if you have over both wheel arches (negatives or positives) and back, they negate each other in the english language.You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Unless your Boris Johnson, anyone got a picture of him kicking a cat?
