Because we don't have working traffic cameras, when we did for a short while, most people were very careful at traffic lights where they were located.!

What became of the cameras then ?

They didn't work very well and eventually the contract was cancelled, must be more than 10 years ago. New tenders were requested and I think a decision was finally made last year to go ahead with a new lot, but don't know what is happening now we are skint!

I blame capitalism for allowing him to make money and buy a car and ... a man! :evil:

He is a very good singer and an absolute arsehole, anyone proud of this arsehole ?


No, but I reckon Michael must be proud of his. :lol:

Slightly off topic but I read the other day that English law makers are having great difficulty in defining consummation of a same sex marriage so they are not going to have a consummation clause in the bill. Some observers claim that this means the sex element of such a marriage does not, in law, exist and therefore we may be free to marry our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. :?

unlike the UK where the cameras photo the back of the car, the Cypriot system photo'd the front, which apparently included the faces of driver and any passengers.

Now according to one story the system was taken down after an unidentified prominent public figure was caught by the cameras sat in a car with someone that would have caused a lot of bad publicity for this person, and the system was very quickly taken down.

Not sure at all about veracity of that story.
