photo op Barkers Pool

A group of people were spotted standing around Barkers Pool near the taxis today having photos taken. One chap was fully clad in heavy duty gear all decorated as a Lord Mayor along with others smartly dressed people. It turns that this was a result of a presentation ceremony held somewhere in the quiet corner of Town Hall for long standing good service of some thirty four years by Mr W Khan. Because the nature of communications most of us outside of the station are only aware of scraps of info that this was a photo opportunity with the lowly taxi drivers of Sheffield by the elite group. The photo op was a little marred by one person in the group actually dropping a frame of some sort and smashing the glass on the footpath. The pieces were quickly retrieved of course before a keen city centre embassador could turn up to fine them for littering, never aound when you need one.
Then as quickly as they came they left the scene without a word to the woking class drivers that the elite group had just used as a backdrop to their photo oppertunity for the papers. We probably will read about it in the paper as a completely different event of course
