they say brittian is the most watched nation. there are cctv cameras eeeeeeeeverywhere, and they make no effort to hide it there are signs in almost every shop and every car park and every road and every everything, saying "these premises are monitored by cctv"
but these "speed cameras" signs on the roads are my favorite. i have wanted to take a picture of one ever since i saw one on my first day here, but i've aways been speeding by in the car and not had my camera ready. we came upon this one outside of a car park -- i'm not so happy that it has silly string all over it, but there was no way i was letting this one go. i suppose they thought they are as silly as i do.
why do i like them so much? simply because i am baffled and intrigued by their choice of camera -- it's an antiqe. certainly not the type of camera i would associate with monitoring the speed of motorists... i mean c'mon, if one snapped a picture of a moving vehicle (pronounced vee-hickle) with a camera like this, it wouldn't even turn up on the film.
so britian... good on ya. it works anyway.

those cameras are fast, if old.
