He appears to have a cupboard bolted to that... No wonder he's confused.

Looks like a Boatmad punter to me .. you can tell cos they're still fooking about on the slip checking their tyre pressures or releasing something .. probably the lashings to their flask of tea so they can decide what the fook they should do next and still hold every other bugger up
