Star letter and common sense from police.

Some people might remember the flood of complaints from drivers in our city
when they were fined for speeding on a dual carriageway with a 30 mph limit.
These included council leaders and ex specials and even the AA who all
virtually admitted in a large regional newspaper to not being fit to drive,
since they didn't know the rules of the road before setting off. At last a
police officer has gone into print to put the record straight. He

Also, in the same issue, I managed to get the "star letter" and to give the
editor their due for once, they didn't mess around with the original too
much ;-) They even added a nice picture of lots of bikes in Amsterdam. I
also finally learned how to make the scan clearer and brighter in Paint Shop
Pro.

Quite refreshing to read. What a different attitude to the Chief Constable of
Norfolk who has said speed cameras in Norfolk are not exactly a good thing.

Excellent :-)

Good letter. Nice work there. Quite possibly your letter gave them some of
the encouragement to publish the article, too.

Those dutch bikes all look like heavy lumbering monstrosities! Don't they
ever ride quality lightweight machines over there?

Simon,

Three loud and rowdy cheers for you, your local paper, and your local
police force. If we saw more of this nationwide then this would start
to be a much nicer country to live in.

(And, of course, a change of government would make this country better
too - I'm not happy to learn that because of this bunch of lying
Yankee-pandering no-gooders, people in my profession are now near the
top of al-Qaeda's hitlist!)

Why has al-Qaeda got it in for statisticians then?


63.6% of them have.
