things to talk about tonight anything that you want to share with the rest of my London of course you can do so here you need a number 107312000 will get you straight through to B.B.C. Radio London I want to talk about the dreaded c word a little bit Christmas ols all the talk about whether or not we are to rely. And so on technology you may well have been affected today with the disruption to the road to network if you got a contract or you have some kind of relationship with 02 mobile phone company data from O 2 I do an awful lot about a limb chopped off today and I want to explore whether or not we're just far too reliant when it comes to technology or get to that in a 2nd but the London story I'm going to get your thoughts on tonight particularly if you drive in our city either for leisure but why her drive for leisure in our city alone particularly during the day or maybe for work or business or the ever or maybe your someone who lives in a certain part of London and how one of these 20 mile path speed limits which are all over the place I forget because it's not blanket across all of the bars you can go from one borrow to another and all of a sudden these 20 limit signs appear question is who should be enforcing the speed limits in our city instead of the Met Police should have be the local council and give some background to this tonight councils could take over prosecuting speeding drivers because there are concerns that the Met Police is simply too busy to enforce speed limits the $33.00 bars are considering whether to apply for a change in the law to secure powers to prosecute drivers who breach the speed limit and there's concern mounting tonight at the quote inadequate level of enforcement particularly in the growing number of 20 mile per hour zone at the time and Transport for London a set a target to eliminate road deaths by 2041. Traffic police have been temporarily switched to the Met police's violent crime task force to crack down on life and gun killings police commissioner Questor Dick recently admitted she did not know how 20 mph zones would be controlled speeding is a criminal offense in force by police so you know the coppers who are available at the moment to enforce the speed limits and particular 20 mile per hour zone is in our cities so there is a suggestion as being considered by the transport committee of London councils whether or not to launch exploratory work on securing the powers this would mean councils your local council would be the organization the group of people responsible for enforcing speed limits in your part of London so want to put it to the test tonight would you have a problem with this if you drive in London for a living would you have a problem with the local council in faulting speed limits instead of the Met police 87312000 is our number and a lot of this is based around the 20 mile per hour limits now this has been going on for several years I remember at least a decade ago in various parts of the country actually including this the capital city there were debates going on about these 20 mile per hour limits and whether or not they genuinely made road safer or whether or not genuinely they would reduce road deaths and that debate you can argue is kind of being lost really particularly if you oppose the idea because as we know they're all over the place city of London 20 mile per hour limit various other barriers right around the capital you will find a 20 mile per hour limit so as much of this chat tonight is based around who should in a force speed limits in our city whether or not it should go from the police to the council I want to talk about a 20 mile per hour limit as well do you think the zones have made London's roads safer. If you live in a street or in a town where there's a 20 mile per hour limit if you noticed a difference 080-731-2000 is the number would you have a problem with there are more 20 mph limits rather cross London How about apart from the major A roads but you know the kind of residential streets I mean would you have an issue with all of the residential roads in London or simply May 20 mph because I get confused when I drive around town I mean it's not a massive amount of confusion because I got some ice so I can have a look at the thing all there's a 20 signs are need to reduce my speed accordingly but it's not the case in every Barra so you can go from one place to another all of a sudden it's all Blimey it's 20 who should enforce it should the police give up the powers of their local councils enforce it and these 20 more proud limits have their mobile made London's roads safer some of the stuff I want to get to tonight regarding that I also want to talk about you and I suppose a wider the wider issue about whether or not we've just become too reliant on technology now and with the O 2 network and most of today I've been without connectivity when it comes to getting data for the uninitiated that means more in a wife I area which is provided in a different way the technology of I'm out on the bow in the streets or I mean a car or whatever and I don't have access to 3 G. Or 4 G. Which means I can look at any social media not that I'd be doing that of hours driving by I wouldn't be able to use a sat nav or Google Maps or anything Congress emails if you're out and about and it's been an issue today over 2 in these mobile network equipment supplier Ericsson they issued a joint apology millions of customers have been hit by this rupture into its data services they reckon 25000000 people. The chief executive of local Mark Evans said the firm would work with Eriksson through the night to resolve the problems they reckon they won't go back to normal until tomorrow morning it's all down to a faulty software failure apparently calls the issues and is currently being decommissioned they're trying to find some new tech to sort it all out 25000000 customers of O 2 they also provide services for the sky Tesco gift gaff or the like a mobile networks which have another 7000000 users and services such as bus timetable information being affected many businesses face disruption I had people on the radio today and I seen them on the telly as well you know talking about our use our use my smartphone for my business you know you've got people who've got apps and they can access someone around the roads on a cab drivers or got one of those kind of taxi apps were able to use it you know I know drivers heard them on the radio saying are can get any business not making any money today because oh too is gone belly up so of all of this in mind I want to talk about you were you affected by the disruption to the O 2 network today and all week to rely on technology in this day and age that's what we know we need to get to this because you know all these people who appear in just Gar I mean I want to do this today and being able to do that today surely it up proves we are too reliant on technology maybe we need to go back to basics if you were affected by the disruption to the O 2 network called Meet and I owe 827312000 but also let's talk about whether or not we are too reliant on technology I heard people on the radio today say they were getting lost they were getting lost because they didn't have street maps available on their small phone I had one woman talking to someone else saying that she got lost going home because she didn't know the route because normally she follows it using a map on her phone. Oh I understood 731-2000 all we too reliant on technology I mean I'm on long long for anything that makes my life easier to live on quite lazy to be honest with you you know it's a bit of tech that makes my life easier bring it on that's what I say but you look at something like today in the network effect he was in working for data and some people were unable to make calls or receive text messages and it's like the world is falling apart so has the pendulum swung too much in another direction yet we should embrace technology a blind me when that technology is not available or there's a hit cobble something goes wrong does he not prove that we are too reliant on it reliant to the point that actually things stop working 080-731-2002 be fancy a little dabble in the style drone why wouldn't He was life simpler when there wasn't so much technology Oh it was always on about today I was paranoid that I'd missed some kind of important email from maybe the ball so this radio station or someone asked me to do some additional work or whatever because when you're out on the bow and you're relying on your data from your provider or working you don't get those emails. You know you're in the business I mean it matters you need to respond quickly so maybe we have gone too far in the other direction maybe life was simpler when there wasn't so much technology let me know on that and one more thing to mention also intrigued about something I came across about how some of London's restaurants are doing some curious things this Christmas in terms of food like of the cinnamon bazaar there's a mince pie non bread. You can stop a Brussels sprout Margarita have Cantina the reader should you be interested to find an Old Compton Street so reading this earlier. And I thought we could turn this on its head just a little bit when we talk about Christmas and perhaps because Hugh the are food and drink what do you eat or drink at Christmas that is not traditional I once used to work with a woman and her family that never never had the traditional turkey roast potatoes sprouts you know all that none of that they went to the local Indian for their Christmas Day lunch which evolved the 1st time I heard it if I'm honest with you I was quite critical but increasingly I found myself thinking or nice place a chicken address Christmas Day lunch Bring It On what do you eat or drink at Christmas that is not traditional and when I say not traditional I mean you know when all the anything anything that is not the ham the turkey the roast spuds you get the picture 3 ways of getting involved and I ate 1333 the tag number start your message with the word of London please put your name at the end of the text you can e-mail box A B A R K E as barks out B.B.C. Doco don't you K. . Thank. Shelley has announced he's died at the age of 63 in a statement from the band's management who was released via Twitter and the same and said is with great sadness that we confirm the death of peach Shelley one of the U.K.'s most influential and prolific songwriters and co-founder of the seminal original punk band The Buzzcocks so to react to that news will play a Buzzcocks tune just ahead of half past 10 tonight let's get some of your calls on the air of 87312000 the number really keen to explore these al teach today the disruption to the O 2 network which is affected 25000000 of their customers plus another $7000000.00 users on top of all the talk about you if you're affected by the disruption but also what are on the way as a nation as a society which has become too reliant on technology because I've seen and read and heard so many stories today of people who literally woke up no data service is a mode soon I was it I couldn't function he says in King's Cross Hello Ace welcome . Hello Ace. Amarah you're on the radio sir yes well actually turns out to be shouted a forgery why we aren't all the right what we are I'm sorry ELEANOR HALL or to myself. Believe you me this far and I could even take a chance on cold night. Every time I try to send a text that. Didn't happen or why did you discover when they do discover oil when wrong when I woke up this morning. Oh so short and also hope our car can archive service yeah I don't know how you got this service why can I use the service you know. I consider tax I can receive checks I couldn't make a foreign code apart I was going to UK and Australia just get on every single time yeah I want it I know 15 or 15 pounds a month there are no well that they've apologized for I suppose you have to accept . Technology these days is never going to be 100 percent infallible is going to be times like this one when it fails but kind of makes you realize how alarmed we are upon it how did it affect you today. And well as your wonderful Mel would tell you . Are going well. For Hero. You're part of contrary actually be honest so I'm a listener so I'm finding this really difficult you called me on in the background Man other in a while it is but I guess it's going to hear it's going to you know ye Pescado look at how you ever get on a 1st place maybe it would be as our Or I'd said to you said to you on well so how has it affected the technology breakdown how that affects you today some me I should be at a kind of a hospital or. Yeah I need to be had a spate of my doctor mom is not a shiny we had a caller number set and I miss nice. She said I would ask you to do this to give a shout because I tell you are a lot from 8 my wonderful Judea She's wonderful Yeah absolutely wonderful. I have very different issues. And very hard time even this morning able my. Should we say that my hospital doctor try to contact me they can reach me no and this is where it's really concerning Israel some people are unable to access their Google Maps in all again from one destination to another you can turn around and say well learn to read a bleeding map but people like yourself you know we choose is a critical situation where maybe your your Dalton needs to get a hold of you or you need to get hold of someone for some medical advice or whatever and nothing's working on the system that is I mean as a kind of stuff that is dangerous business I do believe. The Namur service actually used to network for their center right and their ambulances so if they didn't do doesn't work. That's a problem yeah yeah a big problem Yeah I mean are you able to make phone calls now the girl using a mobile at the moment you know my shoes or my landline but I'll show it to you. From life I'm sure you can make any phone call on it that will mostly try walkover only go for. Good try make a phone call using your your mobile he calling just out of interest sorry are you going to call using your mobile. Service Corps just call or I got a better idea why don't you call off OK and I know we could complete the loop as a couple completely to do this talk to our 100 for their I weigh 273 want 3 1. 2000. 2 0 0 get a Coke you know given a call a very low a little hair answers and he says Radio London the ME NOW you can make phone calls there are let's see what happens we believe in oh yes she says Thanks for calling people who write in London. So we were caught again and they're all right we got access to your data yeah you know you look so you can know nothing about them 3. Are told no no nothing. Just aren't nobody I can bunco never stop Well that's the most important thing if you can make a phone call and actually get hold of people are now most important thing right I'll get Melanie on a bit I'm just doing exactly what a wonderful friend Mr Spock says 7 a set completely I'll tell you a freak a male make because I can hear you talking to me through my headphones I can hear I can see him on the other end of the phone I'm starting to feel a little bit more sure what's happening for him they play to my sensibilities I remember I was like All right there's a nice I'm going to leave it there thank you because you really proved the point which is I mean the data services you my Delta to be OK with but as you demonstrate you're not the only person I've heard who's got this trouble today earlier. Problems with data services on the network there were people who couldn't make phone calls receive phone calls or indeed send or receive text and you heard without AC is going through a bit of a challenging time at the moment health wise if his doctor needed to get hold of him. If anybody's mobile number wouldn't work so if you're affected by the disruption to the O 2 network I just want to hear how it affected you 080-731-2001 the phone and the wider discussions and I would choose always to rely on technology I think we all I think we've become so used to and he said it's a great place to be you know some of the things you can do now you know I can pick up an e-mail on a bus I can reply to someone I can do that I can do research for the show I can do all of that where others before I had to be chained to a desk in front of a typewriter now you can do it just tapping away on our little handheld gizmo But when the technology fails when the technology goes wrong Blimey don't we know about it so how we become too reliant on technology and the listings and I mean all of them in the tech savvy and you know the you're thinking. The blame because I knew one day it would all go wrong then let's have that particular challenge right here 080-731-2000 the number here would be V.C. Radio London I mentioned earlier the news that the Buzzcocks from Shelley is died at the age of $63.00 that was announced by the band's management in a statement that was released earlier so it seems only fitting we do this.
