Hmm, good eye Chrispy. I just did a double check and didn't see any William Hill's around there.. so that could be a strike against the cash monitoring hypothesis.

On the other hand there is that Barclay's on the corner, so maybe the one in FH was actually watching the Lloyds across the way. That would fit with ForestGump's cash drop off security service idea, which does correspond with the Group 4 website.

Anyone got the guts to call the number on the side of the van? I just finished reading "Little Brother" by Cory Doctrow and got spooked after the operator answered (great book BTW, can download for free here). :-)
