Great and about time too. But the government transport policies do not go far enough and will not, in themselves, lead to the economic renaissance of the Black Country.

Socio – documentary. Peeping Tom. I suppose the term you choose to use for watching other people depends on which side of the fence you think you are sitting. Call 'Big Brother Celebrity Whatsisname Why do You Think I Should Watch This?' a fly on the wall documentary, and it's possibly alright, in some eyes. (Shed a tear luvvie, they'll lap it up..) Call it voyeurism, and suddenly it's something else.

Newspaper photographers regularly went out in search of 'fillers,' pictures to fill spaces in the paper when news was light. So pictures of children riding their Christmas bikes, families enjoying a bit of summer sunshine, real pictures of real people enjoying a slice of real time, were the norm. Just try that nowadays.

I'm so interested, I've crossed over the road / changed the direction in which I was walking / ignored the people I was with before I saw you. I am so interested, with the way you look, the thing you are doing, the space you are doing it in, I'm going to walk right up to you, point this little black mechanical tool at you, study you for a few seconds, then capture your soul forever. Frightened? Offended? Perhaps, but hopefully you never really saw me.
