Big Brother



Took the picture below in the Ladysmith shopping centre, but was spotted on the security cameras. They sent a security guard to stop me. You can't take photo's in here as it's a security risk, I was told. Anyway, turns out the security guard had seen this blog, and he also knows Oldham 100. So I got off lightly with just a telling off!
Later on, just to get my own back, I stood in front of another security camera and photographed it as they watched me.

Might keep a low profile now for a while... see ya!

  2. What's the world coming to.
    I was in Cartagena Columbia wanting to take a picture from a vantage point, only to be told it was not recommended for a personal safety issue.
    Needless to say I took it anyway.

  3. I know they spoke with me too when I was in there, however they were very nice about it and I assured them that I was not taking and pictures.

    Shopping Malls are usually private property so it's up to them as to whether photography is allowed or not.

    I can't believe that in your picture is the spot my house stood in 1955-7

  5. The Arcades is The shopping centre from the Bus station,built in the early 90's I believe.
    The ladysmith centre has been there a lot longer,with Boots,Mothercare (now gone!) ect.
    You can walk through the Ladysmith Centre,cross the walkway,by the side of the Beau Geste,and enter the Arcades.
