I saw this guy, then I saw the mattress. I thought he might be persuaded to point for me. I stopped the car and walked over to him, just as he started the bike. He didn't notice me. He looked about 65 years old. He was talking into his lapel, as if into a radio, but there was no radio, no microphone. He was reeling off a string of numbers in a calm voice. I thought better of asking him to point. I went behind him and took this pic. I guess the poor chap suffers from some paranoid/delusional disorder, so it's a good job he didn't turn round and see me pointing and taking photos. I went back to my car and he rode away.

Not really, apart from the swastika. This guy would be regarded as a harmless eccentric.

Isn't anything German army related taboo in England?

Does the bed roll on the bike count as a bonus matt?

Maybe he's MI5! See how he blends discreetly in with his surroundings.
