    I prefer the Rowan Atkinson interpretation of 'The Haywain', where he includes an AA recovery van by the edge of the pond.

    I don't know if this link will work but the latest update on the painting:

    http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=1200324585&tstart=0&mod=1258688866710

    basically someone has made a logical statement that since this is being sold or implied to be 'a Constable' it is in fact a fraudulent listing whilst others are saying that anyone daft enough to bid deserves all they get.

    Also pointed out that listing in breach again as 'cash on collection only' now appears on it (again).

    EDIT: Note the question asking whether another medium might contact Constable and ask him if it is genuine. Seller appears to take question seriously, I now wonder if this is going to turn out to be a deliberate auction designed to see how gullible people are or the basis of a newspaper article or something. No seller can surely be that daft.
