Although I can't tell if they're fixing holes in the patio blocks, just washing them down, or what . . . it is readily apparent that they've just 'boxed' themselves in!! :P

I agree with Silver Lady, the black poles don't appear to provide nearly enough room for the van to drive out.

Yep, They put the bollards up to keep vehicles from parking on the walkway, and blocked themselves in.

methinks someone may have "painted themselves into a corner?"

Hmmm... call me a skeptic, Donna, but I just took out my trusty ruler and, measuring both the distance between the posts (at the base) as well as the van (at its widest), I'm of the opinion that these folks are NOT boxed in. They may have a good go of trying to manoeuver out of their tight spot but, if both of them apply all their intelligence to the task, they just might succeed. Of course, let's just hope they brought a hearty lunch; they'll need to give the cement time to set or the paint time to dry. Or maybe not.

Would seem that way, but it's a 2D photo. The tiles further away from the bottom of the picture also look smaller than the ones at the bottom. Yet they are all the same size. Perspective.

Note that the truck is almost 4 tiles wide, and spacing between the bollards is around 3.5 tiles wide. :mrgreen:
