they are prepared to film people who drop off

day 10 was a town visiting day.  we were in search of the gorky's barafundle album which we eventually found in a second hand record trail.  we went to two of the most fantastic second hard record shops ever in fact, and i highly recommend them both if you find yourself in that part of town.  one of the gorky's himself pops in occasionally, so that would have been very bizarre.

anyway, bonkers is a great name for traditional ladies clothing

it probably would have been a better name for this charity shop which had a mannequin dressed mostly in plastic bags

of course the welsh need to keep an eye on their flags

we often hear that the UK has more CCTV cameras per person than any other country, but it turns out that was a vague fact someone once made up.  i know that because i listened to radio 4 on the way home yesterday and that makes you brainy.  there was also some interesting thing about online research vs telephone polls.  see hear

mannquin pis is a long time friend of funkypancake (i'd suggest you'd look in the categories archive, but they are rather deaded at the moment)

as usual people gathered to photograph the spectacle of a weeing statue

080417_350d_img_3858.jpg

and there's a classic collection of mannequin pis related paraphenalia

080417_350d_img_3862.jpg

but watch out for the camera security

no one has felt easy since that Dr Who episode where the statues were alive.  drastic measures have been taken to assure citizens that they are safe.

this photo might sum up the christian life. christians are to be reflection a christ for the world to see (note the surveilance camera top left).

my reflection is pretty rusty - most of the time you wouldn't know me from adam.

this is an interesting sign. it's proclaiming the fact that we (who are 'we') now feel safer as there's 115 CCTV cameras around and about.

if this was a cutting edge issues-based blog i'd say something comparing this spin to the big brother is watching you state and the new improved speed cameras which are being introduced that will catch even more speeding drivers.

but i won't as i quite like cameras. and i dislike speeding cars. and funkypancake isn't that kind of blog.

slightly unrelated note: bit annoying about the return of the booming-backpackers yesterday (Warren Street is less than 5 minutes walk from my office). still, london's london and we all just get on with life.

i know lots of you read from around the world. london itself hasn't changed. so if you were thinking of visiting, do !

here's a load of cameras


here's a europe flag flying at our local village fete.


very strange hidden camera on a plant pot. it was pointed at a park bench. very mysterious.

you've heard the saying 'his bark was worse than his bike' well, here is a tree which has chosen to amplify its voice to equalise that equation.

outside speakers are everywhere.

i've realised i've been taking a lot of photos of outside speakers and cameras so i've set up a dedicated category for them.

i'll retrofit old articles in due course, or later, whichever i get round to first.
