No. I’m not kidding. Well, hmm. Ok, I guess he’s not your traditional spaceman who is propelled into space in a Michelin man outfit. Nooooo. This guy was the ’space’ man. His job was to show drivers where the spaces were in the car park. First time I’ve come across such a job. Interesting. He is kitted out like those lollipop ladies except his ‘lollipop’ says “spaces” and he points in the vague direction where spaces can be found. I imagine it’s quite useful but probably not in my local Sainsburys … where there are loads of spaces. Seriously, he was in the way of the spaces at times and at other times he was simultaneously pointing at so many spaces I thought he was re-inacting the Saturday Night Fever dance. I would have taken a picture of him except this dude looked like his normal job was a bouncer and he would have probably chased me down the street with his big lollipop.

So there you go. More proud parents will now be saying: “my son’s a space man” …
