Poor old Gordon - dont be so mean - he might of been a passanger

Delivered a S2R to Derby on tuesday, went down the M6 -A50 but came back to manchester on A-roads, blimey never seen so many gatso's in my life as on the A52 and Derbyshire in general.

Take no notice Gordon, you're better being five minute late in this life than five minutes early in the next...

Yep, derbyshire seems to be particularly bad for them. Manchester has quite a few dotted around on those annoying 30mph main roads that could clearly have been turned into dual carriageways too. My impression is that most of the country got a job lot of gatsos

Judging by the speed some people go through them there must be a website somewhere showing all the ones that are turned off?

Not that Adams have to worry about such things... I'd be struggling to keep up with that milk float too

You may need to keep a look out after all Gordon. I've just heard they are launching a gatso with built in calendar, and high definition colour camera. They can work out how fast you are moving by noting the growth difference in the grass at the side of the road. Several donkeys have been caught speeding in India using this technology.

Where's the Bravo award?

GT you are indeed very funny ATM, I'm sure that Gordon will after all appreciate all the concerns that UKMOC are currently showing. (NOT)

Now where did I leave my coat?

Look, a word of warning - the Germans thought that the Bismark was unsinkable - they didn't allow for the old Swordfish being so SLOW and that was their undoing.........

And for those of you with 1/ poor understanding of history OR 2/ under 35, go take a history lesson - I'm ok, 'cause that's where I live - (just up the road from Stafford).
