I was in my car today and wanted to pass a parked car, in my path was a surveyor armed with his all his gear.
I wound down my window and said "excuse me mate would you mind moving your tripod please".
Ooooh the glare i was given and then in a belittling huff implying my infinate stupidity he said "its not a tripod its a theodolite"!!!

well i replied rather smugly, "how many legs does it have"

"three" he said rather coyly, to which i replied "excuse me mate would you mind moving your tripod.

Im sure all surveyors are not the same but really was there any need?
 
Surely the theodolite was just the bit on top of the tripod.


Steve.
 
Can't anyone use his tripod (or even theodolite) in the middle of the road in peace these days?

What is it with these people in their tin boxes?
