I'm getting sick to death of being blinded by these foccersOne of the reasons could be to do with the following posts all about pot holes - knocking the lights out of alignment - that or road humps. I would much rather average speed cameras than road humps

Think it is something to do with price speed hump £200 set of Speed averaging cameras £Quite a lot. Both have the same effect.

Are we the only country in the world that can`t do an upgrade???? to a website without making a complete balls up of it
Insurance. I dont think Ill ever understand how the system works. As a result of a no fault accident when someone ran into the back of my motor car, my premuim has gone up. Surely all costs should be borne by the responsible party. And theres a long list of additionals fees for amendments/cancellations etc.Modern day highwaymen

This weekend was to do their final split from Lloyds Bank. Splitting the companies takes years (I work for a similar organisation) and isn't a simple website update. The biggest issue we find is the customer (TSB in this case) generally want things done quickly, with the full testing required (but skip bits) and as cheaply as possible. You can guess the rest.
the most you can ever have is two of them together....sadly most companies go for Cheap and quick and sacrafice quality as a result.
Mr Brown it's the old Cheap, Quick, Quality triangle....... the most you can ever have is two of them together....sadly most companies go for Cheap and quick and sacrafice quality as a result.
A gauntlet of fair weather boys in the petrol station this evening. Went in the shop just before me and made a predictable, lengthy, and frankly embarrassing scene when asked to remove their helmets. They eventually did. So I pay and exit, the bikers are now sat on a nearby wall smoking fags while one said "Geoff won't be long he is only coming from widnes". So they were clearly intending to wait anyway and just wanted an excuse to argue with the garage guy...

I am all for fairness, same for all is no prob. If they wont turn the pump on til I remove my helmet I just lay the nozzle on the ground and ride off, they have to come out and put it back.

The patronising pr**k behind the counter made it clear to everyone on the forecourt that I was doing it wrong by still being sat on my bike, over the PA system.
