Cctv camera footage

[kitchenman]

I had an incident with the entry barrier as I arrived at work today. It came down unexpectedly and as I ducked to avoid impact I lost control and toppled over! >.. It was very funny! ... The security man was very concerned (I think he is new) and pointed at the barrier saying "it's always doing that! " ... when I asked at the "command centre" if they saw the incident they missed me falling off but saw me sprawled on the floor (and then quicky jumping to my feet!) ... I asked if it was recorded but they didn't seem to know ... I'll go down again later and see if I can talk to the boss. If it is recorded do I have a right to the footage? ... I mean if I had hurt myself and wanted the evidence for insurance purposes etc .. then do that HAVE to let me have it? .... I hope so! ...

Glad it was funny rather than painful !

I'm pretty sure, though not certain, that if you really want/need to you can request the footage under the Freedom of Information Act (you'll get charged a tenner most probrably)

cheers

Our barriers have a big "Cyclists dismount and use footpath" sign attached. Apparently cyclists are to small to trigger the sensor.

I think that could be right as someone at work also said that ... I've had an informal word so I am hoping my man on the inside will come up with the goods! ...

you can't really dismount a recumbent. You get on and after a while fall off! ...

Brilliant, you never cease to amaze me how many little accidents or funny things you do.

Brilliant!

Sort of quite funny. I saw something similar when a cyclist stopped unde my works barrier and it came down on his head. the guy was a bit of a loser, so we all had a bit of a laugh I'm ashamed to say.

Unfortunately for you Kitchenman, there's a massive stop sign on the road and you didn't, so you get my sympathy, but don't ask me to be your lawyer when you claim.

P.S. You need to help a few more old ladies accross the road. It might change your luck.

send it to harry hill and you will have £250 towards a battery or kit !

Excellent shout! ... I'm on to it! ...

Mmm...should be a straightforward enough claim, probably enough to purchase a nice new 2012 Haibike......

I had £80 for Christmas. I drew a circle in the middle and wrote £80 and then proceeded to draw spoke like lines and label them with all the things that I need or think I need! ... there were so many spoke lines I am no longer able to make sense of it! and consequently still have the money burning a hole in my glasses case ...
