David Beckham carries a ladder across a wholesale warehouse floor in Singapore, a flask tucked under his arm, holding it at a precise right angle to his body.
Location
Felixstowe seafront near a red beach hut, approximately 200 metres from the lollipop post
Currently
Managing school crossing safety duties, trajectory work now redirected entirely
Last confirmed sighting
Tuesday morning, outside Mablethorpe Primary, holding his pole at precisely 82 degrees
Observations
His tattoos have begun alphabetising themselves by date of application, much to his distress.

David is managing crossing duties at Mablethorpe Primary School on the Suffolk coast, near a red beach hut by the road down to Felixstowe. The lollipop post itself has acquired certain aerodynamic properties since his arrival, and passing vehicles are now required to adjust their trajectory accordingly. The situation remains stable provided wind speeds do not exceed 14 knots.

His work is proceeding methodically. Each morning he positions himself at precisely 82 degrees to incoming traffic, which has proved problematic when attempting to cross the road himself. Parents report that he has begun developing a complex hand-signal system derived from his former free-kick routines, though its efficacy as a traffic control measure is still being assessed.

In a statement delivered to us via the headteacher's office cat, David expressed his commitment to the role. He noted that the lollipop post's resemblance to a miniature goalpost was "purely coincidental" and that he was "exploring all available angles" on the matter. He did not wish to comment on suggestions that he is planning to cross the road in an arc.

Guidance for the public

Pedestrians should assume all crossing signals are subject to wind conditions. Proceed with caution.
