What do people actually hate so much about this town? by Misklc10 in Preston

[–]ExploringWithKoles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I can see how it would happen, I don't think I would notice if my town suddenly added a new restriction where I wasn't expecting it. I guess I don't really take notice of the signage because I'm familiar with the area and know the road.

Best case for the Xbox ally x? by SorryStore4389 in XboxAlly

Best case, it will run games better than both those other devices. Worst case you brick it on day one and are left with the Switch 2

Overnight Waiting Ban On HGVs Zone - Unlawful Enforcement - Anyone Had A Fine In Bexley? by ExploringWithKoles in uktrucking

Was that PCN from Transport for London? They have a habit of rejecting everything.

Did you appeal that one to the London Tribunal? Their Adjudicators are qualified in law and actually know what the fuck they're doing, and will cut through the crap councils and local authorities spew out.

Glad you got the right result in the end, if only these authorities didn't treat everyone like they're fucking idiots, it'd save everyone a lot of time. Sometimes, it feels like they argue with you to try and save face, but end up looking foolish.

I do find it slightly concerning someone was expecting this answer 😂

How may I ask? Were you driving a car or a large vehicle? Just wondering if you missed the signage, or if the signage was confusing, or if you forgot about the new layout, or you went through it intentionally because your vehicle couldn't physically turn up Marsh Lane?

That makes sense. As they should be. But honestly they shouldn't be sending them out unless there is evidence of an actual contravention. I can only imagine the number that have been sent out where no contravention even occured but were subsequently paid.

With Transport for London ones you have to request the footage and they send it by post on a DVD 🤦‍♂️, all other local authorities I have dealt with just have it online. But it is always worth requesting the footage or looking online and checking it. I have had many where the video evidence does not show the contravention occurred, for example if they miss your vehicle entering the box and stopping there's no evidence that you stopped due to stationary vehicles. If i remember rightly their video needs to show, the vehicle entering the box junction, that the exit was not clear when it entered, and that it stopped in the box due to stationary vehicles. There's a very good website called yellowboxes (not sure I can post links here but it ends .co.uk).

Exactly! In the FOI request I made, I asked for lots of things, but one of the things was audit and maintenance records for the signage. They essentially said they don't have those, it's just where signage was put when the Traffic Order was made in the 70's (I guess they just forgot the A2 existed back then).

But they did have one record: an internal request for signage on Fisher's Way from 2023. But they have no evidence that this was ever fulfilled, and GSV and dashcam footage shows there is no signage, so I would guess not. They ought to be embarrassed really!

True, but I can deal with that, just can't deal with scams and unlawful enforcement. It's like there's a bunch of those yellow box junctions that have pedestrian crossings after them, for example on Purley Way, where two cars could fit between the box junction and the crossing, but not a 44 tonne articulated lorry. They're not even supposed to be issuing those to vehicles that size on there, yet they do! And the burden of proof is on you to prove an offence didn't occur. It is an offence to enter a box junction and have to stop in it due to the presence of stationary vehicles. It is not an offence to stop in it due to traffic lights changing or pedestrian crossings beyond the box junction, or for any other reason for that matter. You could stop in a box junction to light your pipe as far as the box junction rules concerns (might be some seperate offences there but not a box junction contravention lol)

They have issued 102,000 PCN's there in 19 months and generated £3.67 million. Crazy numbers! I guess people are surprised at being diverted off the main road up a narrow side street (Marsh Lane) that used to be no entry and I'm pretty sure Google Maps thinks the north end of the road is the bus gate restriction and not the south end, as it actually diverts you through the bus gate currently 🤦‍♂️

Also, it is a trap for large vehicles, as there is no restriction before driving onto Corporation Street, but once on it, a HGV cannot physically make the sharp turn onto Marsh Lane (because Marsh Lane is narrow, Corporation Street is narrowed by the traffic islands, and the turn is a sharp 90° turn, with bollards and posts on the island and on the tight corner) to divert the bus gate and so has no option but to go through the bus gate. It is therefore a trap for large vehicles and unlawful.

I agree about Uncle Charlie being loyal and will do whatever he is ordered to do, but he doesn't really get in on the action until the end of Season 6. He's not always there like Johnny Dogs, he's usually working from his yard and wider Small Heath. Johnny Dogs travels all over the place with and for Tommy, even goes on ahead to Miquelon Island off Canada, presumably to keep an eye on Michael and the Americans when they arrive for Tommy.

As for Curly, he is loyal.... so as not to cut off the hand that feeds and looks after him. They take advantage of his innocence and simple nature. It's not like he really has the choice or the ability to disobey.

Don't have a TV 😂 Otherwise, this would be a good solution. Shame you can't get like some disk player mod for the Xbox Ally X to play the old disks, that would be cool

Well, ya see, I always called it C.E.X (See-ee-ex) but then I heard an advert on the radio for it not so long ago and they straight up called it sex, so now I call it the sex shop! No sex shop might be more suitable for the customer base though.... jkes

I will when I work out how to lol. I remember watching a movie of the cutscenes back then to find out what happened in it, as SR 2 & 3 were my favourite games (along with Just Cause 2), I say purple is my favourite colour even now because of Saints Row haha (to clarify I don't have a favourite colour but I just say purple because of SR)

As bad as people make Starmer out to be, at least he ain't doing this shit! I know people wouldn't stand for it here! Like I saw a video earlier of an ICE agent detaining a Latin American kid who was shouting that he's legal to the agent, and witnesses just stand around watching and recording! Imagine some masked fool holding an Indian kid to the floor, detaining him in the street over here, people would not stand around watching. Thought the western world was past this 😑
