No such thing as a free hug?

On Saturday I realised what I had mistaken for jet lag was a nasty flu-like bug I must have picked up on the plane home from India. My only journey outside, and my only blip, was this guy spotted on the way to the supermarket to get some food.

His sign made me laugh. In fact he wasn't giving out free hugs. He was promoting a meeting of some Occupy Brighton protestors taking place that day. So I could have reported him to the Advertising Standards Authority. But he had a nice face and he let me take his photo, so I'll let him off just this once...
