Bollards!
These workmen are installing bollards to stop nurses from parking on the pavement outside the Royal Hospital in Belfast. They are cleaning up at the end of the day.
I don't know how long it took them to get home though...
Of course, there's probably a conspiracy theory that they either just air-brushed out the van from the photo - or cut it up at night using welding gear!

Hmm, yes, bit of a "Doh" moment. However, isn't it sad,though, when the truth is so much more boring than the photo suggests:-
Here's the truth:-
