Cutting the grass this afternoon, I got fed up with the number of speeding vehicles, so I put an old garden chair and camera tripod at the end of my driveway.
As I was doing this, I stopped a cyclist on the footpath and pointed out they were committing a criminal act as defined in the high court (19??) under section (?) of the highways act (XXXX). I also pointed out murders, rapists and paedophiles were criminals. They got on the road.
A couple of hours later I got an enraged father at my door accusing me of comparing his child to a paedophile. He threatened to report me to the police.
What chance of all my windows being intact in the morning (I've his registration number)?
The traffic did slow noticeably!

NOT a chance Zeddo. 'tis mine until I un-tit!
Gotta smile at BT though. There ain't one of us here that hasn't thought of something similar I am sure.

BT you are having us on, successfully it would appear.

Yes, I too am often frightened and intimidated by the speeding trolleys and so on being wheeled by crazed small nippers when I am on one of the smoother bits of grass round here. These 4-year-olds are a menace to life and limb.
Quite right BT. They need a short sharp shock. Mind you the ones we have wouldn't be scared by a camera tripod. A .50 calibre machine gun wielded by a crazed nutter might just work.

Best bit about that unhappy-slapping video is the respectful way the guy shuts the gate at 1:53

You kind of get the "that's not the last of it" feeling though. We don't talk much to our neighbours but at least they're perfectly nice!

Good idea, I might try it. The limit past our house is 40 mph following a 60 mph stretch, but it's a long, straight, semi-rural road and I reckon a lot are doing 70 mph (at least!). We have a grass verge (no pavement) and mowing it is hazardous to say the least.

I may be wrong here, but bathtum tob was possibly thinking the tripod would look like a Martian heat ray machine from War of the Worlds.
