Apologies, I pulled the link from Google Drive and not Google+ Photo Backup. Lack of Coffee and not concentrating

Here is the correct photo:

I assume we're not talking about the guy on the left with the "OBEY" baseball cap. So from the positioning of the camera we must be looking for something hidden on the platform floor. Optical illusion or some sort of stain?

I suspect this is in a Micro Buffet carriage, where FGW▸ (First Great Western) have designated the area beyond the sliding door, next to the buffet, as 1st Class.

As an aside, I'm surprised at just how many images from this forum are indexed by Google when you search "FGW buffet" or similar. My ugly mug pops up too.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Richard appears to have got his van onto Bishop Rock, west of the Isles of Scilly. Impressive!

Are all DPD drivers named Richard?  I'm sure Richard makes my deliveries here and also delivers to my parent's home in Hampshire.

I think it is company policy. Any non-Richards have to change name by deed poll before taking up employment, even the women. The advantages to the company are obvious:

1) You don't need to learn everyone's name;
2)You only need one button for driver's name on the computer tracking system; and
3) If it all goes bosoms skywards, it's Richard's fault.

4) When complaining about non-delivery, you can say, in all honesty, your company is full of Dicks.
