The Messi bit is what came to mind immediately, but where I live, I wouldn’t see a jersey like that. 😉. Nicely played.

Although the humour ends there. The wellies are a bit off a giveaway but he was rummaging in the piles of rubbish on street corners to see what he could find. Lack of fuel is the government’s reason / excuse for not collecting the rubbish! The four beautiful old squares (all that some tourists ever see) still look immaculate but beyond that you see real life. 😦

That is a bit of a mess. Being wet and muddy wouldn’t have helped either
