    No parking no business?

    I agree with the issue although the issue only exists because it's the shop-owners' cars taking up 'customer spaces'. I wouldn't expect it stops someone going to a shop for whatever they need coz hey, you go coz you need it, lol. But if you find a parking space occupied by an shop-owner's car...

    mondeo man

    You got that right, my God, and that's sometimes what I shout depending on the situation, "easy to be brave, sitting in your car." Had a complicated situation the other day with a bus and a Fosters dray in front of me, bus pulled in, I overtook, dray was in front of said bus pulling out BUT NOT...

    PARKING

    Totally get you: torch his car! We live in a village (Burpham, 50 houses max), one 2m road in and out from the main road so our only traffic is only residents and their visitors plus those visiting the local posh-pub-restaurant. Our neighbour (and if you're reading this then yes it;s me, only...

    Oh yes, TRAIN HORNS! That's the way to go! AWESOME! I'm spending far too much time already thinking about installing them to be considered sane!

    Rant

    Exactly; which only goes to show how many people there are on the road making so many near-fatal mistakes. You know how it is, every dual-lane roundabout where you're on the outside, you watch the driver next to you wander across your invisible line. Do they realise - as you slow down and watch...

    Safe speeding conviction?

    Didn't say Pro-Laser was a camera!!!! And if you knew what policy equipment got crossed off a budget sheet by your local DAC, a £95 tripod (yes, £95 depending), police officers would realise why they don't have half the **** they're supposed to. Across an entire division these things mount up to...

    Safe speeding conviction?

    If a police car is performing a SCO (Speed Check Operation) on "private land" without the consent of the landowner then they are as guilty of trespassing as any ordinary member of the public unless they are "pursuant to their duty ... blah blah ... traversing public and private land borders...

    Safe speeding conviction?

    "Our"??? Tom, I could surely prove that untrue, not only with the reports floating around my office, but with a quick tour of Solihull's A Grade SCO's. C'mon, so of all the police forces in the UK, Solihull opted to blow a significant amount of its budget money buying as many tripods as it has...

    Safe speeding conviction?

    Here we go. Tom, VASCAR does have to be calibrated every shift as the police policy stipulates. As for hand-held lasers, you are correct that they don't need calibrating but then I didn't say they didn't. They have to be placed on tripods as per their manufacturers operating instructions...

    Safe speeding conviction?

    I've posted the science-law on these issues somewhere else - I'll find it and link it. Meanwhile, Vascar, the speed detection equipment in police cars HAS to be calibrated every shift for it to be legally enforceable; and speed-guns have to be on tripods. Police policy and I'll find the details...

    The General Public

    Agree with all of you. In similar situations I recall an incident in Marbella a few years ago when someone didn't say "thank you" for a held door, an argument started and the door-holder thumped him. There's a lesson there as to what rudeness can result in. What frustrates me is that with the...

    Out Of The Frying Pan

    Just been watching "Out Of The Frying Pan" on BBC2 and this week's "Dinner For Duncan" - that would be Duncan Bannatyne. D'you know what? I'm so glad I have a simple palate because if I was SOOOOOOOOO fussy about food, insisting on regionally sourced food, exotic far flung ingredients and...

    THE LUNATICS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ASYLUM !!

    Is this a Government policy or just a local school trying to be proactive in "involving the kids in the school process"? Reckon it looks good to the kids but their opinions count for jack behind closed doors. However, as kids already feel they have more power in schools since I were a lad...
