Yes, have been to the UK.  Drove all over.  Loved it.  Born in Canada, but didn't live there really, left at three years old. 

I wouldn't care if they had cameras on every block.  Maybe then we cowboys could put our ##%*+ guns away.

I'm so fed up with these crazys.

CCTV doesn't bother me in the slightest nowadays. Would rather have it than not. Though if it was introduced into suburbia I wouldn't like it.

Isn't it in suburbia then? I thought it was used widely in most places. We have it in our village in the little shopping precinct. Crime is committed in all areas so it makes sense not to restrict it to cities.

My attitude is if someone is not doing anything wrong, who cares who sees and if someone is doing something wrong, I hope someone does see.  Google can tell where I took a photo if I don't turn certain settings off so..............

I do turn all on privacy settings TBH so maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrit.

Wonder if affairs have gone down in London with all this surveillance?

We have a CCTV camera on our house linked to a PC.  I often see cameras in the towns/countryside and wonder how long they have been 'there'  ::) 'cos I'm not that observant  :-\ - unless it's someone driving using a mobile phone or drinking a coffee which he has just tipped into a cup from a vacuum flask  >:(

Not beside us CLKD. Most cameras are placed in the centre of town, where most of the trouble happens.

We have one camera in the nearest town to us and none in our village. Nothing around the housing areas but it's very quiet here.

Do you watch your CCTV if there is nothing on the TV CLKD.

Oh my goodness what devastation.

Truly hope it was an accident and not terrorism.

What happens in America has a habit of drifting our way.

It was a tank of ammonia which exploded but I don't know what caused the original fire.

It was something like ammonia but in powder form, DH went  :o that'll burn when he heard, as a chemist he recognised the implications immediately

Why on earth did they let the volunteer fire fighters run into a building full of obvious explosive material.  What on earth were they thinking?
