Abbey Road crossing cam. It appears the novelty of wandering over it and posing Beatles like never wears off - people seem to do this at frequent intervals, especially during the busier times of day when the tourists are about. Holds up the traffic nicely.
It must be a very frustrating road to drive down.

Found this quote:
"The original zebra crossing, where the photograph was taken, was moved several metres for traffic management reasons more than 30 years ago, and no original features remain.
A spokesman for Westminster City Council said: "The detail of exactly when and why the crossing was moved from its original location have been lost in the annals of time. "

Still dangerous places to cross a road by the looks of it - I prefer to rely on me.

And judging by the photos being taken, dangerous full stop. Cars got close to some of the silly "tourists" taking their photos of someone crossing.

You have to be pretty bored to whip yourself into a foaming lather about the incredible risk posed by people using a zebra crossing to cross an urban road with a bit of slow-moving traffic on it.
I recommend a glass of warm Horlicks and a very early night. Tchah!

Modern life is so dangerous, it's a wonder the population continues to grow apace.
There's talk of banning Frosties and Sugar Puffs I believe. About time too. Lethal if you trip over a box.

I was reading an article about the recommendation by doctors to tax sugary foods and I had an idea. Leave the food alone and just impose a punitive tax on very large clothing. A 10% loading on XL rising to 100% on XXXXXXXL should do the trick.

...and I thought THAT was interesting.
How about the Karachi Shoe Shop cam, live images updated every ten seconds? What a wonderful century.
