A man clearly in a bad spot with his other half went public to show his remorse.
The forlorn-looking character wore a sandwich board proclaiming: “I’m so sorry I lied”.
And his display of sorrow appeared to work when his partner arrived an hour or so later – and after 30 minutes of heart to heart talks they wandered back to nearby flats.
Gareth Thatcher, 33, who took the photographs near Manchester city centre, said the man was wearing just a T-shirt and shorts, despite the chilly night, and appeared to be aged in his mid-30s.
He added: “He was there for quite a while from about 8pm. Then the girl came down.
“I don’t know if he knew she would be passing and was waiting for her or if he had been sent out there by her with the sign around his neck.
“They talked for a long time and I assume he was off the hook by the end of it because they were all smiles as they walked off to one of the flats.
“I don’t have a clue what he did but it must have been pretty bad.
“I’ve never seen anything like it!”
