AAAAAAAAH - I see I misunderstood you - silly me

Only Gwyn knows if her use of 'sorry' was an apology or an expression of regret . My interpretation , which could of course be wrong [ and I am frequently wrong ] of her useage was that it was a statement of regret and not an apology .

My ID as you will have seen, is frequently abreviated here to TI or Techno .

'Scuse me who is apologising ?

I'm not

George

That is uneccessarily harsh.

I'm sure organicimagery had thought hard about what he should do. You have no idea about the constraints on him.

Even I'm cogitating about this

So far no action - but I'm thinking and planning

I have to say that I, personally , am unhappy about this Project Griffin , which seems to have been running for a while .

So far I've had no problem , but I can see that in large cities - like London and Westminster where there are some 'sensitive' sites problems can arise .

Now I know about Griffin I am not so likely to tell a private Security man who emerges from a building to inform me ,when pointing my camera at his building, I "can't do that here", that he's wrong and I can . I'm bit happier to give him my name and be polite and hope he goes away.

HOWEVER I think this is going too far - I really do .

Security is one thing , paranoia about security is another . As you know I like photography bits of buildings that appeal to me. Now depending on how these private guards have / have not been trained , I may have problems wandering round London with my cameras when I'm down visiting there .

Going back to my original post - a photographer being stopped and questioned by police , today I came across these reports

Hmmmmm these seem to contradict what the Met have said - though of course it has to be remembered that the Met and the City Police are two different Police Forces .

The Project Griffin Site does have links which show just which police forces have signed up for Project Griffin .

Now that's more like it

You are joking !!

I haven't darned a sock in years - and I've no intention of mending even 1 of a spider's eight socks !!

With due deference - your holey sock is your problem not ours
