Solid as a rock (not)

So there I was walking through Bromley yesterday afternoon when, coming out of Market Square, I was about to cross Widmore Road only to be confronted by a rather large queue on the pavement. My first reaction was that there had been a wildcat bus strike and this was the queue for the bus stop. I was wrong as I didn't recall that there was a Northern Rock branch just behind the bus stop and this was the queue to get one's money out.

There was panic in the streets but, it being Bromley, it was a nice, calm, middle class panic.

Curiously the picture on the front page of the Guardian this morning was that very same queue (I wasn't in the shot for some reason) but I can't find the photo on the website.
