I’ve written my (mostly camera) wishlist.
It’s here and automagically updates

Last night saw what seems like (but probably isn’t) the whole rest of the British Isles under a blanket of snow but East Kent has escaped thus far with only a few minutes of slushy ming falling from the sky.
Fortunately, the Met Office have decided that tonight we will get hours of snow… bring it […]

BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme are doing their annual listener vote. Listeners can suubmit suggestions for UK Laws which need repealing.

Over the past couple of years there have been at least two (well, two that I can remember) cases of prosecutions of Dangerous Driving being brought against police officers.
Both of these cases have involved a highly trained officer driving a new car on an M class road at night very fast (in excess of 150mph).
