@neilhimself Tooth narrowly escaped the drain & was saved for tooth fairy in nick of time. Second miracle was that tooth fairy found us in our b&b. She was most pleased, as was child. To confirm, yes I am a single mum & no we have never returned.

@neilhimself We have a Colchester Zoo incident of 2013...involving a chocolate Magnum, a loose & subsequent detached tooth and a lot of blood. Right outside the monkey house. It's a miracle Social Services weren't called as the 6 yr old in question screamed the monkeys down.

Do you recognise this script? If you think it's traditional Chinese calligraphy, look again.

These are English words with their letters reorganised by artist Xu Bing into forms that look like Chinese characters. See more of his work in our #MakingYourMark exhibition.
