Puffer nutters

h, how I sympathise with Michael Topham (, 22 June). I too have witnessed and been victim of this sort of behaviour all too often. It is important to remember that these miscreants are not photographers in your accepted sense of the word, but primarily railway enthusiasts.difference. The appalling behaviour of some camera-wielding puffer-nutters at heritage and other railway sites has to be seen to be believed. To them, it appears that getting the picture they want is more important than anything else – be that common decency, trespass legislation, Brexit, or the threat of nuclear war. To them, the mantra is, ‘I do unto others before they get the chance to do unto me.'
