Nyon (Switzerland)

The delicatessen seller, was very glad when I asked him if I could take a picture of his sausages van.
But he told me he preferred to not appear in the picture.
“It’s so cold today, that I had to wear a heavy coat and a woolen cap.
I don’t look smart”
Then he tried to cooperate and kindly, but firmly, pushed away two elderly lady, who were walking in front of it.
“We are taking a picture”
He explained them.
“ Oh! –the elderly ladies said- and is it for a newspaper?”
“ Not really, but I’ll post it on Internet”
The delicatessen seller and other market sellers asked me for Pbase url and I gave the link to all.
It was a funny and pleasant moment.
The ladies listened and smiled.
At the end one of them asked politely:
“What newspaper did you tell it is for?”……
