    I had the owner of a pub question why i was taking a photo of his pub, I told him that I always take pictures of the pubs I have had a drink in. He said that I haven't had a drink in his pub so I mentioned he wasn't open yet and promised to visit when he was open. Which I did later.
    He told me he was worried about spies. (MI5 or MI6 I didn't ask)

    I've had a few occasions in the last couple of months where someone else has posted photos of the same pubs as me on the same day (Soup Dragon trailing me around Cannock was the classic one).

    You hope that there's not a major crime in that area on that day followed by a Crimewatch appeal for two suspicious looking characters seen scouting the area - one, a large green reptilian type creature from the Clangers and, the other, a Stanley Richer-than-yao lookalike
    Waes hael!

    Hmm, that Rex Rattus has probably been sniffing around.

    After taking a photo of Rasputins in Wellington (its as bad as it sounds) i was trailed round by one of those short stocky pit bull on 2 legs type characters , he never spoke but kept glaring at me , i just ignored him and carried on .
    Interior shots i take with the camera phone despite the Mrs warning "your going to get your head kicked in one of these days" nice of her

    Perhaps she needs to try anger management classes?

    Just think of the bruises you would have got if you had tried to take some pictures of them.
