A big thank you to all my readers for both upping the standard of debate and moving back into the good old days of people power (class war, Foxtons etc). Ah a tear in my eye.

And a rarity these days BD posting on the grown-up site.

Not such a risque subject though. For some pathetic reason I actually caught the train into town today. Not being prepared for this I had to make do with reading the Metro on the way there, and one of those dreadful think and rather pointless freebies (forgot to take my Brain Clough, dirty evil Leeds book with me).

There was an article stating that for environmental reasons speed cameras are better than speed bumps as speed is more constant (ie 50mph, then 35mph, then 50mph, as opposed to 40, 15, 40, 15). Round the posh estate they have speed bumps from hell, yet elsewhere in SE23 they are more like pimples.

So is it good we have traffic calming (surely as grown up adults we can choose to drive at a safe speed, whilst hands on the mobile phone) and if so how best achieved.

Maybe I am becoming less reactionary in my old age.

A second question is should I be bothered to report the British Gas van driving at 50mph over the speed mountains on Westwood Park today? Too late as I didn't make a note of the registration anyway.

BD - keeping up appearances
