Tube and train commuters caught on camera
By Matt Cooke
Reporter, BBC London

There are over 12 thousand CCTV cameras on the London Underground
system, monitoring the movements of millions of passengers every
single day.

But some commuters are also doing their own electronic reconnaissance.

There are a growing number of websites and photo galleries dedicated
to critiquing the appearance, dress and behaviour of fellow
travellers.

For the complete article, go to:

All part of the new world where everyone's got a camera in their pocket and
getting something 'published' on t'internet take the click of a button, or
more to the point the touch or two of a touchscreen smartphone.

None of the sites/ Twitter accounts mentioned in the article seem to be in
the business of purposefully mocking anonymous people - though there's
always the danger that such a thing could develop.
