Somewhere in the world it has to be April the First if the news item which referred to the potential for Oxford's taxi passengers being videoed and their conversations recorded are true!
Apparently the footage, which is encrypted to prevent unauthorised monitoring, will be kept for a twenty-eight day period and then erased as part of a move to protect the cab drivers. Of course the recording will also be useful should a cab break the law as there will be footage available to the police should they require evidence in that direction too!
The move is part of a means of resolving the many incidents involving cabs where it comes down to being one person's word against another and the 'hard' evidence will enable them to settle the issues quickly and efficiently. Let's hope so because it's going to to cost the ratepayers something like a quarter of a million (now that's surely money well-spent in a time of council staffing and service cuts. How many libraries os that?)!
Well done Oxford City Council (for I assume it is them to applaud) a Golgafrincham award is all yours (or to quote Doglas Adams, "You're a load of useless, bloody loonies!").
Hey ho - whatever next

Hi,
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
