Picture of the Week – and we think this one’s a classic.

If, as they say, there is a story behind every picture, what on earth is going on here at Denisons, in Lymington, Hampshire?

Shot by our very own Nick Salmon who just happened to be passing by two days ago, several scenarios spring to mind.

Had this determined looking gentleman managed to lock himself out, and this was the best way of getting in?

Is this the way he always enters the office? Do customers also use this access?

Or was this the Grand Escape? Had an angry vendor suddenly appeared in the office, and was this the best or only way of removing himself from the scene?

Or maybe our man was simply inspecting the pot plants? Although if he was, where were the Elf & Safety police, who would surely have made him don a harness, hard hat, goggles and hi-vis?

On the other hand, maybe he was just going back to work after a smoking break. Or trying to make the window work (sashes do often get stuck) but on the other hand, this does seem a bit extreme.

We’ve love to know what was going on. As the truth is bound to be fairly mundane, your wild and convoluted theories are welcome!
