Think getting wet,blown dried, soaked, blown dried, soaked again and then blown dried once more was the best thing for me.
That will teach me to take waterproofs with me  |

Traffic light cameras are triggered either by using ground loops that are cut into road surface or radar technology. When using loops, as the traffic lights turn red the system becomes active, any vehicle passing over the sensor in the road after this time is then photographed. Radar based traffic light cameras work in the same manner as fixed Gatso speed cameras.
A news story that appeared in the Daily Mail newspaper reported that the Home Office plan to turn over 1,000 traffic light cameras into speed cameras. "More than 1,000 traffic-cameras used to catch drivers jumping red lights are to converted so they can also trap speeders".
The traffic light camera was originally used to measure red light offences. Nowadays the camera can also be used in combination with speed measurement, similar to that of a Gatso speed camera. So you could end with a speeding offence as well as a traffic light offence, if you go through a red light camera!

WPMOT: Been overcharged since November by O2 because some cnut in the Redhill shop put me on some stupid tariff that meant that any day I go on the internet on the phone I have to pay £1 - now considering my average monthly data usage is less than 40mb.... that's just 'kin marvellous... awaiting the credit for the misold/misadvised contract...

O2 are gits. They had me on the same contract for years, I've had this number since NEC did the P100, which is at least 16/17 years if not longer.
It came to renewal and I thought sod it they can stick it. It would cause me hassel as I use it for work and everyone has the number.
After repeatidly telling them that they were scamming shites and robbers normally wore masks. I got the monthly bill down to 20 quid for 800 mins and free calls to all land lines. You need to push them fecking hard..... |

But I bet you are a dab hand at the alarm clock snooze button.
