Coming through West Ewell on a clockwise swing around Horton lane today, I was privileged to come across the finest drain pump I have ever seen.

With its monster paint job - to which my mobile phone does little justice - it would not have looked out of place on the better class of fairground. Perhaps Midsummer Fair on Midsummer Common behind Cambridge (no relation of J. Nettles).

The fleet is showcased at http://www.hydro-cleansing.com but I have not yet worked out why this particular one had the special paint job. One of the chaps did tell me that they do make a special effort to keep it looking smart.
