This seems faintly reminiscent of the rank amateur in the UK who, wishing to
get a better view of the action, was temporarily elevated to accredited
status with all the other sports pjs at a UK soccer game. His camera, a
Persilflex, with 500mm toilet-roll-onon powerful tele lens, and one size
shades all flowerpot lens shade. Swiftly discovered and ejected, he had only
got into that position by way of some extremely dubious quality stewarding.
Ho hum...
