UK Apolyton Meet - Bristol, 9th February

[Solly]

Given Laz's admission of chain-smoking, perhaps it might be in our best interests to find a pub with good ventilation...

Perhaps you should start with a Crawley meet. Lets get everyone home and abroad to fly to Gatwick for the day.

*shudder*

Crawley meet?

*manical laughter*

[Dauphin]

Not least any parental objections to being whisked away to Bristol by a complete stranger

So your mum doesn't fret, this photo of me should put her mind at ease and proove I'm no psycho.

[Immortal Wombat]

Yeah, cos what kind of psycho would want to make it so obvious? You're obviously just a normal person disguised as a psycho to scare people who try to break into Rich's car...

[Provost Harrison]

I presume when you dine at Wetherspoons Christmas, you'll be having the liver with fava beans and a glass of chianti. Fufufufufufufuf

What would a typical driving speed be for your Christmas?

80 mph.

On a motorway probably a bit faster.

[Provost Harrison]

80mph on a motorway?

Wuss

[Dauphin]

Does your car even reach 80mph?

[Provost Harrison]

When working? Yes, with consummate ease!

[Dauphin]

No speed cameras in Hull and its satellites?

[Provost Harrison]

Correct Christmas, not one

[*End Is Forever*]

Speed cameras are useless if you know where they are... which rather defeats the object, I guess...

[Immortal Wombat]

If you know where they are, you slow down for them, so they end up reducing traffic speed, which is what they're there for really.

[Ecthy]

That's not true, IW

[Provost Harrison]

Andy is right. Concentration is lost in people constantly keeping their eye open for a speed camera. Accidents can be caused by people seeing a camera and slamming on their brakes. Nice concept, but in practice, not that functional. All that happens is that people get used to their location, speed everywhere else except where the camera is and slow down.
