Steady on fellas, I think everyone is getting a little bit too confrontational on this thread.
Can I suggest everyone takes a deep breath and counts to ten before making any more replies. |

Welcome back basingwerk, I trust you had a pleasurable Easter break.
I'd love to continue our discussion, but I'm afraid (being the slacker that I am) that I'm about to leave work. I'll catch up with you tomorrow no doubt. |

| Well, I've finally finished my deathly boring morning in the office and am about to embark on four days of doing absolutely bugger all (that's one benefit of losing your wife, no one to nag you to mow the lawn on a Bank Holiday!). I just thought I'd take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Eas... |

| Plenty round this area too. I've never seen them as too much of a problem. I think they encourage courtesy on the roads. There is one just round the corner from me, a mate of mine knocked some poor old dear out of her wheelchair on it a fair few years ago. There were no injuries, just wounded pride:... |

| Know Leics from years ago -so it's still the same?. used to be that tyey couldn't afford cameras. Better not mention ring roads - we've got the one Terry w likes to make fun of- might start up a new post - "Who's got the worst ring road"-at least Leics goes round the city. Biggest problem with A5 I... |

| So then, is it possibly jealousy on your part because you are a poor driver (i.e., well below the average) who would be incapable of driving safely without the nanny state constantly holding your hand? Sorry, that sounds incredibly condescending now I've read it back but I truly do not understand y... |

I'm glad it's not just me that's noticed this then. It's very easy for paranoia to start.  |

Is this a deliberate ploy on your part or are you truly that stubborn and single minded (I managed to avoid sa... |

| The page does give official data and an official reference to motorbike speeds in free travelling conditions. Like you, I have my doubts that the official figure correctly describe motorbike speeds. I suspect that motorbikes are the fastest moving vehicle class in many 30mph zones. However this is ... |

Apologies for the swearing but basingwerk does spout some complete and utter tosh at times.
If there are any children watching, swearing is not big and it's not clever. On the same token, neither is trolling. |

| On the subject of the law being on your side (and I’m assuming by that you mean that the law is not on our side), the law is on everyone’s side, that is not in dispute. What is in dispute is the disproportionate enforcement of those laws by the use of speed cameras. The punishment should fit the cr... |

Please try to be consistent when you are putting your points across. With respect to your other points, never forget - the law is on m... |

| I'm also declaring 'slanging' as off topic! To be fair to r11co on this, basingwerk does seem to be more than usually antagonistic in this thread. I agree with r11co that basingwerk is putting words into his mouth that were not only never uttered but were never even inferred. I think I would have b... |

| Just been having a play about with the Google search facility and it seems to be working fine. Will this be on every page on your site including the main page? If so, I'll be using it as my main search engine instead of the normal Google home page. |

You swine Paul. You've just managed to catch me on a good day and I have absolutely no excuse for not joining. Not only is it pay day today but I managed to win £140 at Cheltenham. You've got me, I'll join.  |
