A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

A photo of a building with windows that look vaguely similar to an ethernet or other RJ port. In one window is plugged a giant red ethernet cable hammering the point home like a joke explained too far.
