Anything placed in central London will be photographed hundreds of thousands of times. The same thing somewhere else can easily not get much attention at all but put it in central London and countless photographers will be swarming around it day and night. Here five people are photographing this plastic sheep next to St Paul's at the same time. Can you see all of them?

Green coat, Red coat, brown sweater, Black coat red scarf, And I've no idea what you were wearing because you're behind a camera taking a picture of the people taking a picture of the plastic sheep.

Not sure which red coat do you mean. What colour shoes they are in?

Oh no, I don't think she is taking a photo she is just walking by. At least we cannot be sure and cannot assume that she does. I always mean only those you can definitely tell are taking a photo, are storks, etc.

Also by brown jacket you mean what looks to me like a brown jacket on the extreme left?

Ah ok so it's gotta be ones where you can see they have a camera..Hm then I'm missing atleast one.  Yes the woman on the extreme left I think that's a smart phone with a camera on it in her hands.

The fifth one is behind the guy in a suit on the right. You can see hands in red sleeves with a smartphone (pink shoes).

Ah yes now I see him..He was well hidden behind the guy in the grey suit. 


Why was there a plastic sheep statue there?

I've seen Shaun before - can't recall where- I think it was a movie trailer.  


Or was it the movie Chicken Run?

I have no idea, I have never had a TV, grew up without one too and I watched very few movies or TV shows. I do Youtube quite a bit but rarely movies or TV shows.

I sometimes wonder how my life might have been without tv.  I'd probably have read more fiction books.  I read alot as a child as it was.  Most of it fiction.  Wrinkle in time, Tales of Narnia, Horror fiction like Dracula, Classic stuff when I was a teenager like Jane Eyre.  I loved English class in High School.  Hated Math.  I am still terrible with numbers.

You would have much more time I guess, some "free memory" in your head and would worry and rage less about things that are not directly related to you (from constant 24/7 news).

Btw, I also do not read fiction almost at all these days. It is very rare for me to find it interesting these days.

Ha! That's probably true.  Mind you I'm a Sagitarius we're fiery to begin with. 


You don't read any fiction?  No Romance, Sci Fi stuff, Action, detective novels, Westerns, Spy novels, nothing? 


OK what about like Historical fiction or whatever their calling it these days..Or satirical fiction?

Nope, not anymore. I am not getting anything out of reading stuff someone dreamed up anymore. Life seems too short to me to do it these days. I know it is unusual but this is how feel and how I do it. I do read non-fiction or fiction from which I get "non-fiction" value, say Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor or Lewis's Screwtape Letters (just random examples which spring to mind). I definitely cannot spend time reading stories about say someone killing someone else and then getting found out which someone invented. Ditto some inexistent creatures doing impossible stuff, I only have a couple of decades left to run around, see and do stuff, ha ha. Some people in my family love fiction though.

Oh, and I do not believe in horoscopes either, ha ha.

It's not so unusual, I have met people before who do not read most fiction.  None of my three brothers read fiction.  One of my brother's loves reading history books, the other two don't read at all unless it's on Facebook.  


I don't take Astrology too seriously.  The whole of one's life is not written in the stars.  We are masters of our own fate for the most part.

I still read two or three books a month but non-fiction ones. History too.
I do not know if it is written (also) in the stars or not, even if it is I do not want to know, there would be no value for me to know ).

I'm not convinced the person with the red scarf is taking a photo. She might just be looking something up on her tablet. It seems the green jacket guy would be in her way. But then again, the same could be said for the pink shoes person who really does appear to be taking a photo by the way she is holding her phone.

I am quite sure she is. One would not stop at that rather busy pavement to look something up with their tablet in that position. She is probably waiting for the green man to take his photo and move away so that she can take hers. People did "queue" this way to take there picture there.
