Maybe they want to establish what type of traffic, e.g. cars, lorries, motor bikes, push bikes, foot traffic...

These cameras are concentrated on lamp posts junction of Crystal Palace Rd. and Whateley Rd.


They go past Ulverscroft Rd but not on Ulverscroft and stop before Fellbrigg Rd.

But they are on every lamp post in that area. They point at an angle down to kerbside.


So not for traffic count. Probably to do with Parking..


.. So what comes next ? Does not bode well..

If that were the case. a single camera would do.. why on every lamp post both sides of the road.

They're transmitters disguised as cameras. One for each hemisphere of your brain. Beaming subconscious thoughts from our lizard overlords. They need to keep us cattle docile by divide and conquer - if you don't immediately start wearing a heavy-bottomed pan* on your head when you're near them, you'll be susceptible to ideas like "outsiders are bad"; "People from other neighbourhoods are a threat to your lifestyle"; "Your territory is being invaded and changed for the worse". You will develop irrational phobias - of random things, like estate agents, or croissants.


Be vigilant!



*p.s. I recommend Le Creuset. If you are instinctively horrified, I'm afraid it's already too late.

That's no fun. I want to speculate about an elaborate conspiracy.

    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available. 
    • Thanks. I dropped off the books that I thought would be most helpful for them already this week.  Thanks for the advice. I have advertised the ones that may be of use for studies on this forum then dropped off some at Oxfam in Herne Hill and others at the Bell End House book exchange. Still a few more to drop which I will likely give to Mind on LL who I like.
    • I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.
    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
