Food inspection. This man is using a pitchfork to inspect a heap of potatos. Location unknown.
it is aai! said:
Waarom zou'ie de greep omkeren? Om een eventueel verstopt persoon niet te verwonden?
Servee Schellinx said:
Ja daar lijkt het wel op.........alhoewel omgekeerde greep.....niet goed te zien op de foto
Jacob g said:
"Je keert het om zodat je de aardappelen niet steekt maar wel omroer om tussen de aardappels rond te kijken en zien of ze goed zijn!" Translation, "You use the pitchfork (carefully) upside down using only the handle to stir the potato's around to inspect them!" Apparently a pitchfork was the only long handle tool available to theguy :-)

@jacob g: Logisch, dat moet het zijn. Dit is waarschijnlijk een greep zonder handgreep (is het dan nog een greep ;-)

Belgian Milk wagon (LOC)

I guess actually Flemish milk wagon. Dog drawn I see. And the chap in uniform does not so much look like he is making a purchase as he is noting something down. Perhaps he is an inspector of some sort?

Getting a ticket for parking, or not being in possession of a licence to sell unpastuerised milk?
Willem said:
Mystery solved. The inspector is writing her a ticket for serving milk from a crooked vial. This is revealed by the following postcard: www.flickr.com/photos/postkaartjes/438959601/ The inspector is measuring whether the vial she serves her customers milk from, does indeed serve half a litre or a litre, whatever the legal standard is.
