Down on birmingham.misc street, the vibe from Andy Derrick is:

(Incidently - you're meant to press the enter key after about 70
characters, not 80 !)

~ >>I tend to walk with the flow anyway, but when the announcement starts
~ >>I always make a point of walking on the wrong side.
~ >
~ >I trust you will reconsider, in the light of the above.
~ 
~ Hear, hear. Often behind a lot of rules that seem foolish on the surface, there
~ is at least an intention to do something not so foolish. It may not always work
~ but at least an effort is being made to do something right. Deliberate contrary
~ action does not help in the slightest.

Ah, but it is not the rule I am objecting to in this instance (indeed,
note that I said that I tend to walk with the flow anyway) - what
I am objecting to is the fact that there is a person watching me
through a camera ready to shout down a microphone should I stray
over the line into The Forbidden Zone.
