Hamish Sheaney, poet, thinker, figment...He may not exist, so it might have been necessary to invent him. Hamish Sheaney might be Joe Cushnan or Joe Cushnan might be Hamish Sheaney.

Joe Cushnan is the author of Retail Confidential, an offbeat look at shops, shoppers and shopping, and a freelance writer/media contributor. www.droppedthemoon.blogspot.co.uk
