Recording what?
2006/11/12 filed under /personalThe Dutch Railroads ... praised by many tourists, cursed by more Dutchmen. Late many times, overcrowded leaving you without a seat and highly overpriced. That's what we call NS, (Nederlandse Spoorwegen), the Dutch Railroads.
Since I commute by train nowadays, I hate this company too. Yet a little while ago, they scared me even more by putting this sign in a train:

Translation: "The train personnel does not have access to the recording equipment"
What recording equipment? Wouldn't it be better to post a message saying "You are being recorded", or at least have such a warning posted anywhere?
Up to this message (warning?), I never even knew the NS recorded anything, let alone that I wondered whether the employees had access to the equipment or not. Nevertheless, good to know!
