Let this be explained first, as there are some of you that will not know what the heck I am going on about, the following information was supplied by Lori, who I was talking to about this yesterday, she lives in the USA so really did not have a clue of what I was talking about so I explained, then, I said go look it up, this is what she came back with ….
Good morning! Well, I looked up closed circuit TV on the computer. I learned a lot I didn't know. I found out that it is much more common in the UK, where there are more cameras per person than in any other country in the world! Approximately one camera for every 14 people! It is much less common in the US. Mostly found in New York and Chicago.
I also read that a 2008 report by UK police chiefs concluded that only 3% of crimes were solved by CCTV.
When we watch a show on TV though, it is broadcast television.
I did my homework for the day.
p.s. Don't pick your nose. Someone is watching!! LOL
end of email --------------------------------------
WHAAT!! I have been caught picking my nose??? Pft I must remember to close my curtains or better still face a wall next time.
See how scary is that? And believe me you can now zoom into peoples front rooms so I have heard, as there was a divorce case not too long ago here, where the wife followed the husband by ‘Google earth’ and actually caught him in the act lol
Beware all you cheating spouses out there!! Hahahaa
that’s not all, now I belong to a new website called ‘RL connect’ something like that, because it was a new site i joined to see what it was all about, then quickly realised that is a real life interaction with other members who know exactly where everyone is!! Yes I had to quickly divert myself from where i was to the middle of a bridge in London lol
How scary is that!!
Well now I received an email from them saying, to upload a photo of me so that if I am out and about others from the site will be able to recognise me and say hello …. WHAAAT!! Do I look stooped? Well no you don’t know how I look cos I would never upload a photo of myself so that some nutter can come up to me and say ….
Stranger ~ ‘Hiya Tatty!!’
Me ~ (with dumbstruck look on my face cos I am trying to remember where i know this person from) ‘wow hello, how are you?’
Stranger ~ ‘ am good thanks so nice to see you, I did not know you lived here?’
Me ~ ‘yes for some time … what are you doing here? ‘ (now I am really struggling to think where and when I last saw this person, could have been in Turkey, I did live there, I came across hundreds of people, so …)
Stranger ~ ‘I was visiting family, but you look nothing like your picture, you are really lovely, the photo does not do you justice!’
Me ~ (now I am thinking I don’t know this person, so where did they see my picture? ) ‘ errmm where did you see the photo of me? I am confused, and that’s not hard to do sometimes lol’
Stranger ~ ‘RL connect!!’
Well, see what I mean!! not only is it dangerous, it is confusing, who wants strangers coming up to them in the street? I don’t!!
Oh by the way, the photo not doing me justice part, I was joking there ya know, thought I would just slip that one in, praise myself up a tad lol
Do you get what I am saying now, about these cameras all over the place, now here in the UK, they are saying its for our own protection, and for the crime blah blah … yeah , yeah carry on, I am not convinced, and look at the stats that Lori has provided there, not doing so good is it? the crime busting thingy!
There are a hundred reasons some people could give as to why these cameras are for our own good, stranger danger, comes to mind, and that is from when I was small! You could never convince me that these in the numbers they are, are for our own good, there must be another reason that there are soo many!!
My theory on that?
Is this …. PERVERTS yes think about it ….
And this is mainly for the men here, which one of you could resist the opportunity to look at something that you are really not supposed to? Lol
Come on hands up!! We all know which part of the anatomy rules your head, I have a very funny joke I tell on that one, want to hear it? Here goes ….
The Lonely brain cell …
There was once a female brain cell, who found herself in a mans brain, a dark empty place, she could not remember how she got there, but she needed to find someone quick.
‘hellooo .. ‘ she whispered …. No answer!
She wandered around a bit more, and was now really getting scared as it was dark and lonely, so she called out again a d bit louder ….
‘helloooo ‘ she said … still no answer!
Now she was really frightened!! All on her lonesome, she shouted this time at the top of her voice ….
‘HELLOOOOO IS ANYBODY HEREEEEE!’
And a little voice far far away said back …
‘we’re down here …’
Think about it ……. There! Lol hahahaa says it all don’t it!
So if you live in the UK even if you are in your own home, think about what you do in front of the windows, you could have an audience!!
Laters Tatty xx
PS in the picture, the words on both screens say 'its life john' ... 'but not as we know it'
