If you spot it don't say on here, but drop me a PM with your thoughts and I'll confirm/deny your speculation.

I'm not going to give it away, either.  At this rate, we'll have an 8-page thread with nobody wanting to spoil it.  :D

Workmen in Manchester have finished a job? But they seem to have blocked themselves in (or will be a tight squeeze) if those bollards aren't removable.

Good failblog.com material :D

If that darker grey stuff behind the van is wet concrete, then they'll need to wait a few days before retrieving the van. One of the workers appears to be spreading it around in the flat.
