Men in Red

Guess who they are!

Eddie McCall and Rodger Harley, two of South Lanarkshire's army of 30 + trusty Wardens who patrol the streets day and night looking for things like this - a load of old rubbish.

A deliberate act of Anti Social Beahviour, and what are they doing? No, not playing Solitaire!

The rubbish is being recorded so that a photograph, the GPS Coordinates and full details of its volume can be uploaded to the Caseworks Database and forwarded to the Cleansing Department the same day.

There is a close-up on our News page, which lets you see the PDA Smart Phone more clearly. As readers will know, the Blog is a little bit less formal, and I always like to find a lighter side to any story. A little while after I took the first picture, the phone rings. Would any of my readers care to provide a speach bubble for this call? Yes, a bit like Private Eye. Come up with a good one, and you will get a prize.

On a more serious note, there was light rain when I took this picture, and it is forecast to be heavy rain, every day for the next four days. After six weeks of wet and often sub-zero weather, isnt it amazing that all the devices are still working! Actually, isnt it amazing that Eddie and Rodger are still working!!
