I guessed this truck had matts in, so I waited a minute or two to see, during which time a police car stopped and an unsmiling cop asked me what I was photographing. "Why do you ask?" I said. "Because you were hiding behind that pole," he replied. (I'd been preparing to steady the camera against it.) When I told him about the matts I could see disbelief etched on his face and that of his female colleague.
However, after I'd shown them some fantastic matt pics on my camera they left, still looking baffled. Luckily, the interruption didn't cause me to miss the matt; it arrived soon after and was put into the truck and wrapped in a polythene cover. |

| Smart Set commented on 05.06.09 | | We had a new white mattress delivered by Argos today, so the scene was very much like this, but I didn't have time to take a pic, as they were too quick for me. The wrapper says "2 MAN HANDLING ONLY", so this naughty man is recklessly endangering his health, I think. |

| kerry commented on 03.23.08 | | so smart of the metropolitan constabulary to concentrate on someone 'hiding behind a pole'. physical impossibility apart (i mean i don't know you SS and put me in line if i'm making any assumptions about you being more than 3 inches in width here...) but they should really have been concentrating on the guy operating mattress manouvres out of his argos uniform. that's the real problem on the streets of our capital these days. |
