   This BBC clip is a 24 hr time lapse of the GPS tracks of ships going through the English Channel. Pretty amazing, but yet pretty scary.

   Very interesting.
   The shipping and air traffic ones make me feel anxious.
   I like the taxi traffic too.

   Hi,
   
   The Pom giving the GPS Clip the voice over could do with reading up on Traffic Separation Schemes.
   
   The Dover Straits aren't the only place in the world that has them.
