So we can have a 'Where's Wally' type competition for Sunday 25th then?

OK. I give up. Where is he?

Victor Vectis | 26.10.20 - 7:20 a.m. | #

Touchey! The Tower Hamlets CCTV camera on the mast outside Cockney Touch Clothing should have a good view.

Ok, I've enlarged the photograph and I can't spot the security.,so you did well in your pixie-whatever.
Did he get touchy because he was supposed to be working,perhaps?

So, I'm not the only one unable to find 'Mr Pixelated' 🤔 Any chance you could add a red arrow pointing him out please? 🤓

If DG measures click through rates, I'm sure the almost-click-bait promise of pixelation is driving his Flickr to a lockdown high!

I was once taking some photographs of a broken drain grating in relation to my work as a highways inspector when a teacher from a nearby girls school came rushing over and demanded to know why I was taking pictures of the girls on their way into school, he became even more vocal when I asked him if any of his pupils looked remotely like a drain grating, after showing him my photos (none of which had any persons within them) he made a half hearted apology whilst mumbling on about "You cant be too careful these days".

I thought road signs in metres were illegal. Perhaps footpath signs are different. It's one of my pet peeves that distances on motorway signs in the UK use "m" to mean miles, when every fule kno that it should be "mi".

Maybe I'm the first to comment on something other than Mr Pixellate.

Well that gentleman clearly hasn't heard of the Streisand Effect.

"Police officers have the right to stop and search you if they believe you are in possession of items that might be used to commit a crime (in particular, an act of terrorism). Security guards, on the other hand, do not have the same rights, and neither party can seize your equipment or demand that you delete your images, unless you are under arrest. What’s more, security guards cannot legally stop you from taking pictures on public property, and if they try to remove you or your equipment they are committing an offence."

Brilliant, thanks to all for a great laugh out loud on a grey Monday morning!

I was once asked to delete a photo and I complied, because I didn't want the aggravation of arguing about it. But also because I have been brought up not to make a fuss.

Malcolm of Kent | 26.10.20 - 9:39 a.m. | #

this is driving me mad ... where oh where is Wally

Ah, a DG post commenting on a portion of London I have visited, namely the walk from Wanstead Park to Forest Gate. Wondering if the BR double arrows will be covered up with purple roundels when Crossrail opens. As for donkeys and herons, I don't have far to walk; I sometimes see them when I take a hike along the canal towpath from Huddersfield to Slaithwaite.

Clever pixillation. It's the five quid sign isn't it?

Milo Bell | 26.10.20 - 9:49 a.m. | #

Was that a real heron in Clapton or a model of one?

dg writes: It moved, so the former.

What people forget if they ask somebody to delete a picture is that it is usually very easy to recover the picture afterwards, unless it potentially gets overwritten by further data.

Rogmi | 26.10.20 - 10:12 a.m. | #

Never mind the pixelated official - where's Cilla?

(niche comment there for the ColdWarSteve fans)

Anyone else tempted to visit Petticoat Lane market and happen to take a photo with a chap carrying a clipboard in the shot? It's a tourist spot for goodness sake!

Andrew S | 26.10.20 - 11:25 a.m. | #

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that there is no Petticoat Lane as such - Middlesex Street itself used to be called Petticoat Lane, and is still known by that name to locals. The City of London council estate in the back of the last shot is also called "Petticoat Square".

barbicanman | 26.10.20 - 11:36 a.m. | #

The market photo is currently getting 6 times the views of the heron photo.

The scowling man's head was 50 pixels across in the original (and was the only part of his body visible).

Malcolm... Yes. Road direction sign distances should be in miles or yards not metres. With regards pedestrian direction signs, guidance is clear (paragraph 14.5 Chapter 7 Traffic Signs Manual).

Now where is that pesky pixelated Wally?

I appreciate what looks to be a tiny emoticon of a home plate (from the sport of baseball) representing DG's walks on Wednesday.

I don't think there's a general right to privacy in a public place, including having your picture taken, on the principle that anyone would have seen the same thing had they been standing there at the time.

ActonMan | 26.10.20 - 3:35 p.m. | #

When you stride off in a particular direction, do you return from the same direction or do you make a loop and return from another direction.

And if the latter, doesn't it interfere with the direction you wish to take another time - there being only so many routes to take?

Cornish Cockney | 26.10.20 - 4:14 p.m. | #

While herons are keen on fish they will eat many things including frogs, birds and rodents. Last becomes more common as waters freeze, though a really long cold snap kills British herons in large numbers.

Robert Butlin | 26.10.20 - 5:36 p.m. | #

Earlier in the year, the appearance of a heron at Clapton Pond rather seemed to coincide with the disappearance of freshly hatched ducklings.
