Smile you're on candid camera!
With well over 4 million CCTV camera's installed in Britain the
locals warm to having their image captured on film. But did you know
that some of the camera's talk? The latest ploy apparently to reduce
crime and anti social behaviour. |

"The love of field and coppice, of green and shaded lanes, of ordered woods and gardens is running in your veins. Strong love of grey-blue distance, brown streams and soft, dim skies - I know but cannot share it, My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, her beauty and her terror – The wide brown land for me!" Taken from "My Country" by Dorothea McKellar |

Britain
is a nation of animal lovers. Children love a Rabbit in fact my local butcher can't get enough of them. My pet favourite is a New York dog with extra onions and mustard. A bloke that lived next door to my gran once kept a pair of nocturnal exotic birds. My gran god bless her, she reckoned that he was trying to breed them because they'd be up all night cooing and strutting up and down Mill Lane looking for a male partner. The neighbours complained, so the police moved them on. |

Britain,
a country full of old buildings amid years of history, Americans
love them. It takes time but we are gradually pulling them all down and replacing them with new ones. |

British Rail apologise to its
passengers but the train now standing on platform one will be there
for some time. Passengers are reminded to refrain from using the
toilet. Do you remember those purler of excuses for delays? The wrong kind of snow, leaves on the track. But the latest surely not? "There's a broken down virgin on the track ahead" |
