I'm not too sure what this guy's expecting to buy, postage stamps, or drink...?

Pete, I am not only wondering the same... but I also wonder what I see and what this is telling me. There's the Yates's sign, a window above capturing my eye and leading me out of the frame. When I come back to the post office writing, I see a unsharp sign reading "At any time". Some one, faceless, is standing there, with cut off legs, but he is not looking at the door, he seems to look at the thing left of the door, which I don't know what it is. All in all, it looks like the shot has been aligned too high? If Yates's isn't of importance, I'd crop it out and get rid of the cut window at the top too.

cheers

Many thanks for the comment. Actually this shot is just a bit of fun really, it has very little to rate it technically and I didn't really expect any comments apart from a chuckle from those who might have got it.

Basically, Yates is a chain of bars that are fairly well known for taking on old buildings and renovating the insides of them and over-charging for drinks. Here, I just enjoyed the juxtaposition between the bar sign, the post office sign, and the guy looking at the closed door.
