i'd never take a job there, i have refused them in the past
I had to travel through it last week for work. way too crowded
i have to go there every 2-3 weeks, sometimes more - to visit a datacentre or go to the main office. that's my tolerance limit right there.
and my manager is happy for me to deduct travel time from my work day because it's so different to my normal 10 minute travel
door to door my fastest ever was 1:45
thank morgan freeman I dont have to touch my dataservers
with DC work its less horrible as thats done in the car, but you have to run the gauntlet of 253 speed cameras and limits that vary every 200 yards
i think i may have picked up 3 points earlier this week - i was too busy paying attention to a nutter and not the sudden 50 -> 30 cut with immediate cameras
speed cameras are entrapment imo
its almost like they want to force people to use pub transport
^
imagine if it was convenient and went to the places you need
and didnt cost a ton for a decent seat
on these visits i usually dont get to leave until about 10-11pm. sometimes there are no trains, at all. or you get 'lucky' with the 2:15 long haul that stops everywhere
speed enforcement here is handled too punitively, honestly. some of the positioning is just dirty
and the punishment often too severe
I'm glad I'm immune to points getting docked
im pretty happy with the average cameras - you have to be basically disregarding the limits to get done by those, a small slipup or overtaking someone quickly isn't going to land you in hot water
I got a ticket once when accidentally driving though a bus lane in cambridge
hahaha
sorry - theyre absolute fascists in cambridge
there are lots of sneaky places they hide extensively deployed vans etc
they especially like long roads which have limits that are lower than they need to be and which have low traffic / no pedestrians, because they're more likely to catch people
they also hide behind SUVs, vans, trees, etc
If there's a camera van in my town it's all over the local facebook group in about 5 minutes. Not that that would help if you're already driving or from out the area
i remember when they rolled out average speed cameras i thought it was pretty shitty, but now ive seen that they calibrate them for 55+ in a 50 (for example) you really have to just be cruising along persistently above the limit. so thats fine with me
There's a long sweeping bend that's slightly downhill and has a section with no trees that they like parking part way round here, or half way down one of the 2 steep hills leading in/out
yeah downhills are a favourite

That country isn't even in the EU.
@PureEvilPie Friday is the day you choose where your loyalties are.
As dual loyalties are a conflict of interest, mine lay with the realm of the United Kingdom and not with some inferior parody of the Frankish Empire.
that one cuck who says ireland will do shit about England leaving the EU is just some throwaway puppet, right? How do irish people actually feel about it?
You guys going to the party in London friday?
I think the EU should be rebranded as the Soyviet Union.
Agreed
Now all we need to do is get rid of the hate speech law and will be in clear skies.
Soy laws need to be removed
