I am quite a peaceable chap (carol singers aside) and I really don't want to disparage any member of this Forum, but I think people should just be aware that Mr Dodds has a certain propensity for generating fake news when the mood takes him, and I would just like to set matters straight.
His account of the background story to the above photo is entirely fictitious. The truth is that (a) I have no argument with Easter egg hunters, (b) I was on a genuine mission to display my sensitive, caring side by trying to inform and entertain my fellow inhabitants in the GMT Zone, and (c) I am not disguised in any way, but am in fact in my normal winter plumage.
Oh, and the Man in Black was stopped and questioned soon after this picture was taken and he turned out to be an agent of the Diecast Zone Think Tanked. He was found to be in possession of a forged passport and was arrested and deported back to Nigeria on the first available flight.

Thanks for the clarification Graeme. I always knew the character he portrayed of you was tongue-in-cheek. Just know that some curmudgeons cast ill aspersions.

@graeme-ogg Graeme...with all due respect....."Informing and entertaining the public" actually doesn't include waving bloody, dead rabbits in leg hold traps around, shouting "the Easter Bunny is dead....run for your lives you greedy little chocolate freaks!"
BTW...the "man in black" was in fact one of our "Think Tanked" members conducting a background check as part of your application process. In your haste to deal with him by stuffing him in that steamer trunk you likely misunderstood when he tried to inform you that he was a Canadian from the Niagara region of Ontario....not Nigeria. No wonder he remains missing.....

If you purchased a new car in that color combo as shown, I'm not coming over to look at it either.

Well some people, AKA model car collectors, just aspire to cast "ill aspersions". Anyhow, I hope I didn't waste your time here. I'm on my way to Tony's for lunch 👍

Well, suit yourself. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes it. For example there's a guy in Virginia who I think might share my enthusiasm but he isn't saying anything. Maybe just sitting there tight-lipped with envy. Or possibly held in some sort of protective detention for the public good.If you purchased a new car in that color combo as shown, I'm not coming over to look at it either.

I believe that the latter of the two just might do this "certain person" some good 👍

I know there was some talk about placing "The Virginian" in a straight jacket in hopes of suppressing the "2-Tone Virus" postings.......harsh for sure but perhaps for the greater good.

Hey! They have great jello here! I must confess to a tad bit of frustration, though. I can't feed myself the jello because they have my arms wrapped up in the peculiar jacket. At least, I can gaze longingly at the beautiful car Graeme uses for this presentation. The lady with the little white hat says it calms me.
