I realised that I do not carry a pen and paper with me to exchange details etc and knew I had no hope of remembering anything after years of abusing my old brain with beer ;-) I do however carry a minidisc player and have used it in the past to record sounds through its mic in socket. I believe i-pods and some other mp3 players have microphone input sockets. Ah but wouldn't you have to carry a microphone around with you? Well no - a loudspeaker is a microphone in reverse, so I plugged in the earpieces into the mic-in socket and then recited my car reg number into it. The signal strength bar moved as I spoke and listening to the recording I could make out every word. Then I realised that most people have cameras on their mobile phones ( I don't have a phone) and could photograph the details, so it wasn't such a good idea after all. :-/ You can't photograph something someone tells you, so perhaps the dictation machine idea still has legs. Mind you, modern phones also have the sound-recorder facility built in. I will add a pen an small notebook to my cycling mini bag to go along with the emergency tool kit & spare tube. Everyone should always carry a pen or pencil anyway. They should, it would be useful to take down the cyclist's number. Francis |
