Oh I know he may be the recipient of the Motability car and not able to drive. In fact it wouldn't surprise me at all.

5:35 in, what’s that
Probably a doctor, nurse or paramedic who is authorised to respond in their own car on blue lights.

When I still worked in the office it was near a fire station and various fire officers would be up and down in privately owned cars with blue light kits like that.

Mr Minion has retweeted this Range Rover Sport done up with blue lights, apparently for a private individual responding on behalf of the NHS.

I go caravanning (which might make me a Walt), and these flag flying type frequent the caravan sites too.
Last year one of them near me had a tall pole flying a plastic seagull above his caravan. Noisy as f**k it was too, I could hear it at night when trying to sleep. Others have regional flags such as the Yorkshire Rose etc. I have no idea why grown men choose to have such things flapping about above their caravans??
I occasionally go to music festivals and in the fields there it’s to make your campervan/caravan easier to locate in a sea of white fibreglass when you’re drunk, I can’t see how that would be necessary on a normal campsite though. Maybe I’m wrong and it’s just because they’re a bit weird.

We go camping either as a family or with another 3-4 families. All well behaved and respectful. But certainly you get these flag pole bellends: often with Xmas lights up them. Typically in a Zafaria and their kids are the ones always out of control and smashing toilet blocks up etc. Often with a massive Site radio banging out drum and base

Site warden will spend all day telling them to turn it off as everyone complains.

The seagull is no different to a scarecrow, specifically the type that are designed to mimic birds of prey.
The caravan owner is presumably a dogger and wants to ward off crabs. If you were a prepper you'd understand this.

Is that legal to stick that on the front?

I can't imagine a pedestrian would come off very well in a collision with that laugh

10 years ago, as part of our honeymoon, we hired an RV and drove from Las Vegas up to the Grand Canyon. At the RV park one afternoon an older guy rocked up on the pitch next to us in one of those monster RVs they have, the size of a National Express coach and towing a Hummer attached via an A-frame to the rear. Literally the very first thing he did after turning the engine off and climbing down to the ground was to erect a massive flagpole (the top of which was many feet above the RV’s roof, which is high enough already) from the rear corner of his RV, and hoist a US Marine Corps flag to flutter proudly.

Mayflower Park, Southampton?

If it is, it's really sad that I can recognise it from a basketball court and a hedge... getmecoat

Lets see, car made up like a fantasy version of police? Check.
Any other evidence? Negative.

Verdict: Probably a walt. It could be done for a laugh, but if it's a joke why make it seemingly realistic rather than an obvious pisstake?

Though I can think of a number of places you could put a flag up that would indicate you were even more of a weirdo.

Friend of mine has a Ford Crown Victoria, ex police car imported from the US. He has now liveried it as a Gotham City police car and uses it for comic book shows/events. (No wannabe police walting).

I think the lad knows his way around a good pizza, which has now got me thinking I need to try a Morrison’s pizza

Or does he works on the Morrison’s pizza counter, the queues for that at 530 on Saturday could get out of hand in a moment’s notice and needs controlling
