People Watching! More Than Just A Hobby, In Brighton…

The council has announced plans to transform the small park opposite St Bartholomew’s Church into a lively, safe and successful public space.
Sounds great! Crack on with it, then.

Oh. Wait. You want what?
The council wants people to carry out some of the fieldwork on a new project to transform Ann Street and Providence Place.
Volunteers will receive free training on how to observe and record people using the area, which they must complete before they can go on to take part in the survey.

    I have just volunteered myself;

    "Dear Sir,

    I feel I am well qualified to volunteer for this work.

    As ex Stassi, I have long experience of spying on people. Which I know will be of great use to you in this project.

    Will we have communication with the local police, to ensure timely arrest of offenders? Will we be allowed to interogate offenders ourselves, another field in which I have vast experience, or will that be up to the police?

    Please provide any further details which you feel I may need before starting as a volunteer informer.

    Yours faithfully,

    XXXX XXXXXXX "

    I will let you know if I recievs a reply. :-)))

    Once the observation studies have been performed the military will know where to lay mines and set up fixed lines for machinegun fire. Any new paint marks appearing on buildings will be for the benefit of the infantry as they will show the limits of the arcs of fire allocated to each squad.
