Bryn and I have just returned from The Fence, at which we attempted to place Magic Rob box, but were immediately approached by a woman who seemed rather cross, 'what are you doing?' 'I'm putting this box on the fence?' 'No we don't want anything on the fence; you must take it off,' as she was grabbing at the box. Hmmmmm.

So we stepped away from the fence a bit, still with the box, and figured out what to do. I wanted to at least for goodness sake's have a picture of the fence with my box. I'm not coming all this way and not even get a picture of myself.

So without touching the fence, I stepped in front of it and asked Bryn to take a picture. The woman and man stepped back out of their office. I told them I'm not going to touch the fence; I'm just taking a picture of it.

She asked if I had anything better to do and why was I harassing the fence and I should go take a picture of some other fence.

'I've come to London just to see this fence, and would like to take a picture of it at least.'

Bryn took the picture, one serious, one happy, and then she gave me back the camera. I was all, 'go back toward the pub; I'm going to take a picture of their office.' The woman had the door open, glaring at me; I should have done a hip shot photo for when I put the camera up to my face, she shut the door abruptly and ignored me, talking to the man at his desk.

Back to the pub; this time I was careful to use the door not facing their office, for certainly glaring eyes were watching. Around the corner and wondered again what to do. I put the box beside the wall and stepped inside. The fencemaster had another pint of Guiness on his table; I walked around to make sure it was him.

'How was it?' he inquired expectantly.

'We got kicked of pretty quickly.'

'Really? Wow.'

'Yeah, she was pretty mad. They said they would call the police and everything.'

'Oh this is great,' he emphasized.

He asked for the magic box and said, 'it's as good as on the fence, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be the next update on the website, and probably the last for a while.'

Awesome.

Bryn and I just finished our fish and chips; we're going now.
