Down on uk.current-events.general street, the vibe from Chris Ward is:

[what's the next thing to be banned]

~ Walking on the wrong side of the pavement.
~ 
~ You think I'm joking ?
~ There is already a stretch of pavement in Birmingham with a white line down the
~ middle and arrows telling you to walk on the left.
~ And a non-stop loudspeaker announcement telling you to do the same.
~ 
~ It's not yet illegal to ignore the arrows and announcement, but how long before
~ some nutcase councillor decides to pass a bylaw ?

I know it well - the ramp from the pallasades down to new street.

It is actually more sinister than you make out - the announcement is
actually *not* constant; if you look carefully you will see at the
bottom of it is a video camera, & the announcement only kicks in if
their are lots of people disobeying the arrows.

I tend to walk with the flow anyway, but when the announcement starts
I always make a point of walking on the wrong side.
