Nice watches, use both MSF and DCF but not as sensitive as some other
models. However TFL did miss a trick (deliberately?) by not actively
signalling the zone. If Casio say 18:30 (from Feb 19 18:00) but you
get a ticket, who trumps whom? They can't get times on pay & display
machines right (compare display times with said Casio: some are
minutes out).


A ticket machine is self-contained. The CC cameras all link to a central
computer, on which you would hope the time is right. But there should be
electronic signs on the zone boundary though! As usual, all the technology
in the world is used to fine us, but a single LED per sign to help us is
considered not worth it.
