I don't know what Pickmans Model was referring to as the "Met Police CCTV cameras" but they have very, very few themselves - those on police buildings (mainly for security) and some they deploy temporarily around major public order events.
Almost all street CCTV in London (and elsewhere) is actually operated by local authorities (albeit often in partnership with police) or, in London, Transport for London (traffic cameras).
There is no reason to replace lenses every few weeks (they don't wear out!) but good systems are regularly cleaned and serviced to check they haven't gone out of line, etc. Most modern cameras have wash/wipe facilities as standard.
Guidance on the retention of recorded CCTV is 30 days (to give an opportunity for a crime to be reported / investigated whilst footage still exists) unless there are very special reasons for longer. After that tapes are wiped and reused (and digital images are deleted) UNLESS a specific request re- a specific incident has been received in which case it should be kept until it could no longer be of any use (to either party).
The big issue with recorded image quality on VHS is overuse of the tapes - again the recommended number of re-uses is 12, with degaussing (magnetic wiping) in between each use. Councils will generally comply with this but corner shops use their tapes (or even tape!!) constantly until it is so thin you can see through it!

Agree. This is a seperate thread really but was it from children through teenagers, young adults etc? Surely when children learned to think for themselves they lost this attitude?
But then again it wouldn't suprise me if they didn't. There is no real official anti racism movement or education in Ireland

From kids through to pensioners 
The kids just shouted insults but adults in pubs were actually threatening.

Don't know what to say really. For every loud wanker there are 10 times as many decent quiet people.
One example is a couple of Chef friends were hiding (for want of a better word) and employing an immigrant and teaching him their trade. Nobody ever knew until the person moved on equipped with a new language and a trade.

Oh, probably at least 30 times as many decent quiet people. This man was not easily shocked, he'd done time in some of the worst prisons in this country. It just took him completely by surprise, because he was visiting his Mam's home town, which he'd never been to before and perhaps had a bit of a romantic idea about from her stories, which made it worse. He'd never experienced such overt racism in in the UK though.Mr Retro said:
I just read through all this.
There is very interesting stuff on the first few pages. Gives me a good idea of how many on this message board see Brixton.

Friend had her card snatched at the Natwest over the road. She's a pretty feisty customer though and snatched it back telling her would-be snatcher to fuck off in no uncertain terms. The snatcher girl apologised and slinked/slunk off.
*goes to Thesaurus to look for synonyms of snatch and Dictionary to look for past tense of "to slink"*
