The other part of the photo in the Huffington Post shows his family waiting by the car and I don't know, but they have a sort of Northern European look to them to me...possibly Brit, German, or Scandinavian.

Council employees have been instructed to drink as much beer as they can and then fertilise barren land. The picture shows a particularly concscientious chap who has taken his work home with him and continued drinking the stuff on his day off (the man deserves a medal). A fortunate side effect, as you will have also spotted in the photo, is that it turns their pee green. This has allowed the council to apply for an environmetal EC grant and those cunning politicians have decided to form a department whose specific purpose is to manage the environment in this way. Many of the brightest council employees have been seconded to this high priority department (thus explaining why less important departments such as health, education etc are so understaffed).
