Hi,
Had the pleasure of driving through Nottingham today (for the first time). Has your local Plod won the lottery or something... I've never seen so many speed (averaging) cameras on one stretch of road in my life. Bl^^dy ridiculous!
Also saw a young lady sat at a busstop wearing - wait for it - a radio tag round her ankle, as per the ones they put on parolees !! She could at least worn jeans to cover it up, instead of shorts. Nice or what! perhaps it's a sort of fashion statement round her area?
Chris.

Damn, was coming off M1 J26 and didn't notice the SPECS until I was in amongst them (... and then I turned my Road Angel on...dohhh, what a prat). I think I was below 30, perhaps 35, we'll see in a week or so I guess when/if Mr Plod writes to me.

Next time come off at J25 head along A52 towards Nottingham, cos there ain't a bloody camera anywhere despite what the signs tell you.......
