    Prediction: the cameras will stay.
    Why?
    Money…and the possibility that outlawing them might lead to a re-examination on the legality of all the police security cameras (isn’t the UK the woulds most officially watched nation?).

    Regardless of whether the cameras are legal or accurate, they’ll stay to preserve the status quo.

    I can’t find the result on the news.
    Money, yes. Imagine having to refund all the fines. Unpick all the incorrect insurance hikes due to having points. No way would a Judge and his Mags. allow it to happen, they’ll be “Got at”.

    Yes, we are officially the most watched nation. As a law abider, I don’t actually mind. I have no reason to deny where I am, no reason to stay hidden…so I’m not exactly sure which of my civil liberties are being infringed upon by appearing on CCTV’s all over the place.

    What a beauty starring Harold Lloyd and featuring the great Snub Pollard
    http://www.goldensilents.com/comedy/grandmasboy.jpg

    I missed this when you posted.
    Now you are talking, I adore Harold Lloyd! “Feet first” is probably my favourite. Even though we now know he was only 15 feet above the rooftop for the clock dangly scene.
    I wish I had a shop near me which sold all these oldies you keep posting. Fantastic.

    The information I’m referring to was in the linked article, you just chose to ignore it. 🙂

    Paul

    Didn’t see it.

    I remember in the early 70’s, there was a Sumo show / Japanese culture type show in Lunnon, and the JapLards all came over on JAL, I think it was a DC8. There was only 30 of them plus luggage, and she was up to weight!:eek:

    PMN,
    Post 33 “…..Everyone was kerb crawling”. As if that was a bad thing in the snow? The statement is anti kerb crawling, and complaining about journey time.
    Post 48 confirms this.
    Post 52 “…not mega fast but not taking the p… either”. Is clearly stating that driving too slow is taking the P. Especially given the sentiment of the initial remark.

    Safe driving, in the snow…ney untreated roads with snow….is SLOW. Surely there can be no alternative answer?

    The one thing no-one here has mentioned yet, all being too eager to jump on the bandwagon because this woman is a bit on the lardy side, is the fact she was told twice by the airline when she made the booking that there wouldn’t be a problem. They were happy to take her money initially and then try and get more out of her on the day. She has every right to be annoyed. She should have been told to buy two seats in the first place as she clearly told them she was a bit on the huge side.

    I really wish more people would sit back and analyse a situation instead of making a rash judgement.

    Paul

    I only read what’s put on here. Not worth researching about unimportant lardy types. So, she has a genuine beef then. If she was told twice “No problem” then she is obviously used to having problems and asked about it. ergo, she should have it in writing and her case is won.

    But, I too object to being limited to a luggage allowance and having some great lump of New York fat blocking the aisle seat.

    Just watched “Bolt”, brilliant. But not good enough to return Disney to the top. Dreamworks still makes the best “Cartoons” or whatever they are called now they are digi.
    Saw “Igor” too. Not so good. It’s an MGM cartoon.

    haha, not quite what i said, i drive reasonably, not mega fast but not taking the p… either.

    “Taking the P…” is how you refer to safe driving?
    Nuisance mate, that’s you. Maybe you’ll learn by smashing up your car without injury to others (Or self) because the Highway code or driving lessons haven’t worked.

    Had to be said I’m afraid.
