Not a problem really Neil, they have commoners rights granted many years ago by a grateful king, incomers from the 'smoke' keep trying to get them banned when they crap on the footpaths and get in the gardens, without success.
The old Forester who's garden they're in in the photo isn't bothered.

Ps: wild boar are a real problem, they were reintroduced by some nut case (dumped) and have taken over the place in their hundreds/thousands. They've dug up everything from roadside verges to cricket and football pitches and even the graveyards.

Not taken by me (I would not have the time), but how about this for a high resolution picture of Shanghai?

Hell's bells . . . and that isn't (presumably) a military-grade image!

Here's a challenge for anyone interested.....

This is a crop of a zoomed in portion of the Shanghai image showing a blissfully unaware person by the window. 5 bonus points if you can find it on the big image in the link posted by James. :-D
Stranger at the window - bigpixel.cn, fair use.

Found them. The window to our left has the blind half way down, while the one to the right is about quarter way down. Tallest building other side of the decorative round about.

No, because it is a smart watch. He is calling his mother in response to the text message she sent him, telling him he was late for lunch with her and his father.

I have also found a C5 facelift saloon car. Look down sun, for the building that curves down to the right, car park in front, two cars to the right of a kiosk.

Very impressive but terrifying. It must be absolute hell to be jammed in there, far too many people.

I have also found a Peugeot. Let us see who can also find it. It is near to a zebra crossing.
