Re: UKNM: RE: Boxes outside Doors

[Paul Canty]

How do you reckon all this is going to apply to people who live in

blocks of flats?  There won't be enough room outside the front door of

the building to put 50 large silver secure boxes with cameras on them.


Portered blocks could potentially work (although still problematic

from a building security point of view), but unportered high rises

would be a non starter (and don't forget, even some yuppie types with

filthy lucre live in these nowadays).


What does everyone fancy - pizza or chinese?
