The meaning of sheep

Now this is the sort of thing that could go on any self respecting noticeboard, don't you think? Five sheep, all sheep-shape and Bristol-fashion.

I wonder what meaning they have............? They could be an advertisement for real or toy sheep for sale, woollen goods or a knitting group? On the other hand, they could be advertising the next meeting of the a self-help group (for those who feel sheepish about going.)

Then again, it could be a poster for the next concert of a pop group, featuring the lead singer (or baarer, if it's a sheep group). It might be showing a soloist with their groupies or, continuing the musical theme, it might be referring to the Lake District sheep singing Jerusalem.

Another thought is that they could be advertising a course on how to speak 'Sheep' because they all seem to be saying something, although the one top left looks as if it might be dancing, so it could be a call to go Line Dancing: Open to all. No one baared.

Could it, perhaps, be a pen-tangle?

So it could, Andy B. I like your profile photo, by the way.

Thank you. It's a self-portrait, circa nineteen sixty-something.
