The lion, the laugh, and the bored bloke...

The Lions charity lion mascot at a 'community fair' in Scarborough today.
Spotting the two men on the bench, I asked the lion to sit between them to get the reactions. As you can see, one thought it a great laugh, the other...
I always love the surreal/absurd contrast of these mascots among ordinary settings, either looking lost, bored, or jollying up the passers by. Seems a very British thing.
