Talking CCTV's are being introduced across the UK not only to cut crime as well to try and stop people dropping litter, etc
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6524495.stm
Now stop being a nusance. So if you drop your trousers you will be told to pull them up. If you are caught in a wrong position they will watch you for a few minutes ( is that how long it takes lol ) and egg you on, come on thats not the way you do it  ( joking ) |

Yup experienced those at a car dealership one weekend when the showroom was shut and I decided to take a walk around their exterior forecourt cars. All I can say is I wont be going back there to buy a car any day soon.

Nothing like that in sunny Marbella!  Perhaps the sun makes us more laid-back.....
You could have an amusing bit of interaction with those cameras, though, couldn't you! Eric Blair certainly got it right....... just 23 years too early!

Our local Metro stations had problems with youths hanging around the entrances at night and causing trouble - the solution was to install speakers that played classical music. It actually drove the yobs away.... some even complained to the local paper about cruelty

The same thing was used in Beverley Bus Station a couple of years ago with very good results

someone was smoking in the low level station on glasgow ( about 5 years ago now) and then an announcement came over the loudspeaker... would the man in the (description of clothing - I dunno, somthing like black trousers, red t-shirt and green jumper - yes, I'm making him a walking fashion disaster) please stop smoking
deja-vu or rather deja-lu (read) anyone?
(1984)

'Julia' is the girl who Winston Smith has an affair with in the book 1984, which ultimately leads to his capture and torture.

No problem.... didn't think you'd picked up on the obvious reference. It was one of my school texts, but I'd read it even before that.

oh and also you could drill me on the Woman in Black & The Woman in White ....
going off topic I know but isn't the opening line to The GoBetween excellent - 'the past is a different country, they do things differently there'

Nobody clocked my clever reference (above) to 1984 via my mention of the author - Eric Blair.
