After a light shower of rain I noticed that the word "Kellogs" was visible through the yellow poster paint.  I could also just make out the fairy liquid logo on the lens shield.  So it seems major corporations are now involved in sponsoring these revenue raising devices.

It will need calibrating though as it didn't flash me when I rode through at 85 Mph sticking a finger up to it

Cheers

I noticed it on Sunday morning, before the rain, and thought it was actually quite convincing. It would be interesting to find out how many people have slowed down as a result of it being there.
Word on the street is that people in Disley have been given a speed camera of their own which they use, note down the registration of the offender and then pass the details over to the Cheshire Constabuary from whom you get a warning letter. Has anyone else hear about this?

I remembered seeing something about this on the BBc website, but can not find anything there now. However have found it in the buxton advertiser website

Hope this helps

My God, a warning letter!.  That is really scary - not.

The optimist believes that Whaley Bridge is the best place in the world to live. The pessimist fears he might be correct.
