July 23 2004:
All In the Line of Duty

Abingdon, Oxfordshire

So what’s going on here? A guy in a smart red uniform, with a feather in his cap (quite literally), and drinking what appears to be some Bell’s Scotch Whisky. What I can tell you that this guy is at work, although he’s about to call it a day as it’s Friday evening. And he won’t have to do this job again until July 2005.

Cushty

I’ll be posting more photos of him and his workmates soon.

Great candid!! Not only is this a great composition with brilliant color, it's really comical too! Sneaking a drink on the job..I love the bottle stashed beneath the seat as if no one would notice...ya gotta love it!

Where do you apply for this gig? (Nautical pun intended.)
