My (NEW) computer is on the blink so I haven't been blogging. Anyway on Thursday I went to the police station at Skegness. It was very interesting. We saw the court rooms, the cells and the fingerprinting and alcohol testing but the most interesting was the camera control room. There were about a hundred monitors all showing four views of somewhere in the county. I had no idea the extent that we are spied úpon in our day to day lives. It was funny when we asked him to put Mablethorpe up on screen. He zoomed in on a man on the beach who was doing ?? something down his trousers. He hurriedly moved the camera but we overruled him saying that we wanted to see what he was doing. he nearly fell off his chair laughing. he never thought that W.I ladies would be like us!!
There are only 7 police officers in Skegness. In winter there are 30 thousand residents and that figure rises to 200 thousand in the summer so they rely on the hidden cameras to spot the crimes and send the police to the scene.
Later we went to a country pub. The landlady thought a space ship had landed when twenty ladies trooped in! Our president was trying to get out of the back seat of a two door car when she slipped and ended up folded like a concertina in the rear footwell. We couldn't get her out for laughing and she was well and truly jammed. The landlady couldn't understand why we were coming into her pub all laughing hysyterically.
So the next day was the Macmillan cancer charity "Worlds biggest coffee morning". One of our local schools did it and it was a great success.
Tomorrow we are taking our computer to Gina's so that Andrew can back up all my files before we send it to the manufactorers.
Have just heard the news from Brisbane that Sams team has won the final! Well done!
