Hi
Did anyone catch the news on 3 counties radio this morning re. more 'safety' cameras in Hertfordshire ? Due to the number of speed related accidents, 22 new cameras will be installed by April 2003.
Sometimes I wonder if the 'speed related' accidents differentiate between low speed & high speed related - just a thought.

ps Geri Halliwell sped in Hertfordshire

There was something along similar lines as the headline story in the Birmingham Evening Mail yesterday. Seemingly, all revenues resulting from speed cameras in the West Midlands from now on will be used to finance MORE speed cameras.
Jeez - anyone would think there weren't already far more speed cameras in the Midlands than you could shake a stick at

well i hope i get any more in the area i live.
I already have to pass two gatos on the way to work and the other two on the way home. The cheek is that they are all within 2 miles of each other and almost opposite and two are hidden behind signs out of site.
Add to that the three at the bottom of my road heading towards watford. Well i say three but one has been torched some respectable citizens.
Ever get the feeling your being watched
Big brohter is out there.

Is that the one near the Ovaltine factory? It always gives me a smile when I see its burnt out shell.
It is right opposite the fishing lake, near the railway and bridge.But would you risk it??? Sneaky B4ASTARDS have probably put new inerders in it and left the outside as it is, just to fool you

There is no such thing as a speed related accident, just abused statistics.
No proper research is available.
I suppose the cameras will be located on open roads, nowhere near accident blackspots.

A little story chaps. Around where I live we get positively plagued by home alarms going off for no reason at all hours.
Digression:
Months ago I rang the police (Garda) saying how abominable it was to have to listen to the incessant noise. The BS standard of a 20 minute time out is no good as often the fault has not cleared and off it goes again. Well plod quietly suggests to me that a shotgun would be a useful cure - can you imagine - the Police making that suggestion!?
A few nights ago an alarm went off (yet again) near my house. When I went out to investigate, I see a hammer on the end of what looked like a piece or GB pipe being swung at the side of the bell. The bell did not like it, emitted a sort of strangled sound and dropped dead on the ground.
So now all you gatso lovers get yourselves a long handle hammer

Nice idea.
Knowing my luck i would be stopped and get done for having an offensive weapon . Plus i can't think of a valid excuse for having it either.
