Since this post is sort of about bathrooms, here's one fact:Most toilet flushes are in E Flat.
According to the London Assembly of Liberal Democrats, London has been outfitted with over 500,000 surveillance cameras. Other put the number much higher at 1.4million cameras but nobody is telling what the real number is. Another few 10,000 cameras have been installed in taxis and police cars as well.
America Blog reported this and added: You can imagine my surprise after I paid my 50pence to use the public bathroom, walked in and found myself staring at not just one but three ceiling mounted video surveillance cameras. I had to get real close to their enclosures to convince myself that I wasn't seeing things. Not only was it really there, but it was a Pan-Tilt-Zoom model with a microphone to top it off. Must get some great noises coming from there. It has also been reported that London officials are now installing cameras with speakers to allow them to talk as well as see and listen. Perhaps its just me, but I had absolutely no idea that this was legal anywhere, let alone in downtown London, UK. Sure I knew that London has more cameras per square mile than any other country on the planet, but in bathrooms?! How are they getting away with that one? It is appalling!
But the iPhone has an ap for the noise part, You can call up 30, 60 or 90 seconds of flushing sound. Don't you love technology?
Next bathroom issue to tackle, as the blog No Parental Discretion notes, is people who don't flush.
I used to curse my own micro-culture for the fact that there are now NO public restrooms. The guy we bought the Upper 2 Acres from justified street cameras by saying they saved lives. But this ...?
