Chipper

THE LOCAL COUNCIL here in Copenhagen has started a nifty scheme for bike owners concerned about theft.

Free of charge, they're issuing microchips you place inside your bike. In the event your bike is stolen, you report it and the chip's ID is tagged as stolen.

Kindly traffic wardens walking the streets carry a gizmo that beeps when in range of a bike containing a chip tagged as stolen.

So while it's not quite a tracking device, it's a sort of alert device, giving you some hope of getting your bike back.

I'VE ONLY been following the goings-on in Parliament back in Blighty with half an eye. No such scandals going in Denmark. Here today the news is about a Danish royal pooch that's in trouble.

"There’s no difference between being a royal and a commoner dog," says the story.

That's breaking news.
