if you don't mind a several-years-old ginge.

 

She'd need to be above the age of consent, IWHT.

 

Lovely.

 

If you would rather not pay homage to Catalonia, you can see the
CCTV sign next to the 'Orwell Place' sign in Ipswich.

 

Hmm - Ipswich or Barcelona - tough call!

 

annoyingly I can't locate my original reference to said sign on google
groups - the search facility seems to be a bit broken, which is
unfortunate for a search engine company. Though I have always had the
opinion that google don't really care about their Usenet interface.

*ding dong*

wait, didn't we do this already?

 

There is always Hastings.

Entering from the A21 there is a sign that says something like:

Welcome to Hastings
The Birthplace of Television

24 hour CCTV operates in the
town centre for your safety

Something like that. It makes me chuckle a little, anyway.

 

....that the URL in your post wasn't wrapped!

 

what the ****?

 

Context is everything.

 

Srsly.

 

"The town is sometimes referred to as "the birthplace of television"
since the pioneer of television, John Logie Baird, lived at 21 Linton
Crescent from 1922 to 1924."

and it seems that some early demonstrations were done there:

**** Paul Nipkow then.

 

It's only you. Get a decent newsreader

 

I'm using the same newsreader as you, YTC!

And a later version to boot.

 

Oh yes.
