Oddly enough, I was listening to a Linda Thomson CD this morning, and when it came to one track I though "that must be Swarbs on fiddle", and when I looked, sure enough it was . The other fiddler I find recognisable is Aly Bain.
Ahhh, just for once in about 100 million times... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-57347552 Idiot Litter Lout fly-tippers forced to pick up their own rubbish They should have had their car impounded and crushed for good measure - and the remains dumped on their front path.
Personally I think vehicle crushing (or at least permanent confiscation) would deter a lot of dangerous road behaviour. Folks who can't use their vehicle safely should lose it. Anyone caught with a mobile or other device in hand while driving. Drunk drivers Dangerous drivers Serious speeders (100mph+) Any driver convicted of injuring somebody by careless driving (not fake whiplash claims) Convict them and crush their motors. Not immediately of course - we don't want to encourage stupid car chases as they try to escape. But in a few days or however long it takes to do the paperwork. No transferring ownership or other dodges like that. Just tow it away & scrap it. Those two idiots in that video also need to find the sense they were born with. Not to twig that emergency lay-bys are covered by CCTV with people watching it all the time
Many cars now have forward & rear dashcams. It should be possible for footage of tailgaters to be sent to the traffic cops, so persistent offenders can be warned or cited. But I guess the system would just get overloaded with millions of video clips. Anyway, I'm wandering off the main topic of good news. It's Sunday! a rest day for most of us. Got to be good news
Had a change of plan went sea fishing off of Whitstable and have just bought an outboard motor - just got to buy the boat to go with it now
