Finally taken the plunge and ordered a Sports Camera from Maplin. Should allow me to record the stupidity of other road users for prosperity (YouTube) or use in legal action.

Looks like a good buy, you'll have to post how you get on. Are you going to have it looking forwards or backwards, or on your head?

Not sure. Details says it comes with head and arm bands so I will have to try out both to see which one works best on the bike.
It's not only for use on the bike. Being an on-site Caretaker means I get called out at night to respond to the school burglar alarm. It will be useful for recording evidence, etc. I've had two face-to-face incidents with burglars so far (separate incidents) and both ran off in the opposite direction when they saw me.
So a very justifiable purchase

For much less spondulics you could try the "flycamone2", used by us model aeroplane people attached to flying models to take aerial stills or video.
