And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
How successful the angel and subsequent multitude were in setting the shepherds’ minds at rest is not clear from Luke, Chapter 9.
However, we learn that these two bald-headed (and not overly overjoyed-looking) beauties on East Claremont Street have had a sobering effect on local schoolchildren.
Staff in Fabric Focus are able to hear much of what locals say as they pass the shop window or peer in. Some of the Broughton Primary School kids – en route in noisy crocodiles to a carol service at St Mary’s yesterday morning – were briefly shocked into open-mouthed silence.
Fabric Focus boss Kevin McGovern is rather enjoying his angels' notoriety. He has no plans at present to refoliate them.

@theSpurtle If one of these bald ladies is refoliated, perhaps she'd be more appropriately clothed in her suit rather than her dress.
@NewTownFlaneur EITHER hair OR clothes but NOT BOTH? What next? Waxed Santas in furs, and beardy ones squeezing out of the flue in the buff?
@theSpurtle @NewTownFlaneur I could oblige with the last option.
@papawasarodeo @NewTownFlaneur Sack in one hand and bottle of Lumbrusco in the other, no doubt. Smuts all round, deep and crisp and even.
@theSpurtle Being a bald female gets no sympathy from Wardens if parking on double yellows. Especially in Broughton!
@Protonmale What? WHAT? How do they know parker's gender and hairiness? WHAT? How 'Especially in Broughton'? Is 'parking' some euphemism?
@theSpurtle Much like having pampas grass at the front door.
@theSpurtle Potted begonias on window cills in the New Town are a dead giveaway.
@Protonmale @theSpurtle In Broughton, it's illegal to park pampas grass on double yellows unless you're a potted begonia with a front door.
