Help at hand

The city council has invested in some roaming tourist helpers. I'd quite like that job as I like walking around the city interfering when people look a bit confused - but I'm not sure I could cope with the uniform.....
Two ladies who can cope - and were grabbed by a whole load of French schoolchildren within half a second of this shot.
Three GT:
1. Beef in beer coming along nicely.
2. Ticked off a few 'I'll do that sometime' jobs.
3. A new shop window display that's going to give me a fun shot at some point - just have to get my timing right...
This is bloody fantastic Judith, just love the pointing finger, the umbrella, and their expressions, they almost look like a comedy act. Fav

I love this idea and I think you'd be a perfect ambassador, Judith! But I agree with you...those uniforms are not flattering. I do like the pink accents and the hats. I'm thinking a soft grey pin stripe in a natural fabric and a sleek, but comfortable boot. Oh, and a brighter scarf color.

~ These ladies do have friendly and approachable faces...I'm sure they were a great help to the tourist schoolchildren. Marvelous shot!

Fabulous expressions, and yes i think the uniform needs a bit of attention!

Goodness what a pair, they look like a comedy act, good idea, but not loving the uniform, fab snap though.

Love this street shot.

@lucypics @jo13 Well I did have a comedy duo-based title to hand but decided that it would be unkind!

@peggysirk You need t consult for the council Peggy - it is rather manly and hot in summer at the mo!

Well I think the uniforms are a great talking point ....rather a comedy look & the rolled umbrella beats the lot. They are a tourist attraction in themselves...I think there will be many photos of these two going round the world in peoples holiday snaps!!

Such a funny shot - agree with Lucy that they do look just like a comedy duo. Can hardly believe they're real! I love the way the taller one appears to be giving the other a right ticking off, but the recipient of that just looks very smug.

great natural shot....
October 15th, 2013  
Those expressions are to die for - just amazing how you've captured them - a real comic duo. Go on - I dare you!
October 15th, 2013  
Very eye catching uniforms... I think it would be an enjoyable job (except for the uniform)! Nicely captured!
October 15th, 2013  
Go on share it ......
October 15th, 2013  
Looking again I think it's the way the smaller one is standing with her chest puffed up that does it for me....I think she is very important!

@lucypics Well Laurel and Hardy came to mind... I think do too @happypat

Now that might be the lady who told me off for trying to sneak into the college that day. Perhaps if I'd been a tourist :-0
October 15th, 2013  
@fueast I've heard they keep an eye open for you specially...
October 15th, 2013  
RTH (Roaming Tourist Helpers)... that sounds like a great job! Love this capture and their most unique uniforms!
October 15th, 2013  
Love the capture, but the idea is terrifying! ;)
October 15th, 2013  
I can't get my mind off 'Charlie Chaplin'......
October 15th, 2013  
Great shot. I too like @quietpurplehaze Hazel, thought of Charlie Chaplin. Fav!
October 15th, 2013  
Hysterical outfits and such a British idea! You'd look great in one of those...maybe Monty could come along?
October 15th, 2013  
@jgpittenger He could have his own hat....
October 15th, 2013  
Cool capture. Their uniforms area interesting looking.
October 15th, 2013  
Very different uniform! great capture :)
October 15th, 2013  
Hehe - great shot and I wonder who is responsible for this fashion statement? The 2 ladies are definitely a double act :) Fav
October 15th, 2013  
gr8 candid shot judith and yes i think you would be a fabulous "tourist helper" :)
October 15th, 2013  
Am sure you'd rock that look so much better! Ace job
October 15th, 2013  
Very fun shot! Well seen and captured!
October 16th, 2013  
Oh Judith - you could rock that bowler hat look..But do wear a hot pink scarf!!!
October 16th, 2013  
What a great street shot...just want to talk to these characters. :-)
October 16th, 2013  
Lol
October 16th, 2013  
A good idea but not sure about the uniform. Good capture

I saw this a day or two back and couldn't find the words, told myself I'd come back when I was more eloquent and I have and I still don't have them. Those uniforms....

@jewelsandbinoculars I thought you'd find the pink offensive ;0)
October 17th, 2013  
Great idea, awful uniform.
