All of my post arrives after about 10 or 11 in the morning. About 6 months agao we had a spate of afternoon and evening deliveries, some as late as 9:00. and this has been going on now for about two years.
I lost my faith ages ago.
Then to make matters worse, the local post office closed, which is about 5 min down the road, so we are told to pick up odd parcels from a sorting office 20 miles away, when there is another perfectly good sorting office not 5 miles from me.

The picture looks to me like the person who took it was in the driver's seat. Surely you who would not use a phone when driving, would not use a camera either.. _________________ Tommo...

What is the lens cap used for though, do you wear it and look like a character from "Pirates of Penzance" when using the camera? - Mike |

Was that a failed pirate picture Alex?
Anyway, I can't do Pirates of Penzance - remember, while Tommo wasn't watching, the baddies nicked my Black Dyke Mills band CD, containing the Gilbert o' Sullivan medley. _________________ Dennis

perhaps you should have done a Dennis and obscured the identity of the truck a little....or is it just me being paranoid about my identity and personal details? _________________ Andy

I've been thinking about something like this for my car - you never know when it might come in handy for some nutter on the road...
...but, knowing my luck, I'd be rear-ended anyway so it wouldn't be anywhere near being in any shot _________________ Andy

Anybody cares, this is the second camera I've used. First attempt was JVC Hard Disk one with megga hours recording. BUT rubbish quality, proprietary software and worst of all wouldn't work in the van - hard disk protection stuff cut it off as soon as it felt the vibration!! So now it's an ordinary Mini DVD tape camcorder. _________________ Dennis

Insurance companies in america and possable soon to be over here are doing that, where you have one facing forward and one facing you. If you have the system installed you get a reduced premium.
I'd seriously consider having one fitted. _________________ Dom

I know what you mean - but I'm quite camera shy
The trouble is that clips from these cameras have appeared on all kinds of programmes showing young drivers falling asleep - at the wheel etc _________________ Andy

I take back my accusation of fowl play. Sheer brilliance Dennis. I have one of those at work. I had always thought of fitting one in my own car but couldn't think how to effectively mount it. Do you run it off it's own battery or do you have a car charger 'thingy' ? _________________ Tommo...

I found that clip too. I just couldn't stop laughing, just had to watch it again and again.
If anyone it interested see it here in all its high definition quality.
Really there is nothing to worry about unless you intend to do something totally stupid like this guy! In which case you deserve it being shown to the world how much of an idiot you are!!! _________________ Dom
