prompted by this post by drpete, I’m reminded that yesterday we were taking photographs inside and outside the Maul Mall, our nearest retail shopping experience (TM).
while I was taking some photos *outside*, a chap in a suit with a little M&S badge came up to me and said:
“Excuse me – are you having a problem?
You seem to be taking some photographs”
You seem to be taking some photographs”
try as we might, neither perlmonger nor I could parse these two comments together. Obviously, I responded that I wasn’t having any problem at all, and that I was indeed taking photographs, and went on my way.
but They don’t like it, do They …
The phrasing makes me think it was the human avatar of Binky, the paperclip.
Oh dear.
I just had to explain to the whole office why I was falling about laughing.
🙂
But they’re used to you doing that by now, no? 😉
My work here is done :-)))
Perhaps next time I should take pictures of their CCTV cameras whilst standing directly in their gaze and see if they respond any quicker than me taking pictures of a rabbit sculpture…
