Hello! 
Good timing today. Had only been there for 5mins or so and another 5 mins later the BiB showed up lol!
Interesting! Did they get a call about someone looking for a one way ticket?Good timing today. Had only been there for 5mins or so and another 5 mins later the BiB showed up lol!
It is a good point for the truck spotters - it tends to make drivers nervous when you see someone directly over the carriageway, kids with stones etc. Much better if you lurk to oneside like FMC usually does.

I don't know TBH, was just a single crewed panda car stopped by for a quick natter. Has happened before and i'm quite used to it now. They're a good bunch round here to be fair.

If theres a car patrolling the local estates they usually stop off if i'm there to see what's going on. Even had a traffic car stop by to tip me off about a wide load coming down the road once!
There was half a house brick chucked at a car on the A428 last week or the week before IIRC, was in the Hunts Post. Can understand why people may be twitchy or why there more plod patrolling the area after something like that has happened...
Heard an amusing tale about a chap a good friend of mine knows the other week. Went up to the M1 at Toddington services to snap wagons coming by from one of the bridges there with a new SLR camera he hadn't had for very long and the central motorways police turned up and put a rolling block across both lanes quickly followed by an armed response unit who gave the chap quite a shock apparently when they made their presence known! Turns out someone passing by had dialled 999 mistaking his camera lens for a machine gun lol!...

4 times this week James
Out quite a bit now as its busying up on the run up for the Xmas delivery season (One of my faves) and i'm getting some very tidy stuff already! did you not fancy a ride out in the drizzle today?...
Think that had to have been Tonyvid passing by in the silver Saab waving out the window earlier?

Spotted 3 times this week.......I think
Think I saw you twice last week too.... Have noticed your hi-vis jacket the last few times though, very sensible piece of apparel considering some of the idiots I've seen driving like knobs down that rural section of Bushmead Rd recently!...
Still adding all my latest shots to Flickr as frequently as possible if anyone fancies a look see...

Same time and place, boy that was windy today!!!
Missed this somehow! Would certainly much rather see/hear this every other afternoon over a push bike lol!...

There was a dark blue Tuscan blat past southbound on the A1 just as you were manoeuvring over the speed bumps further on down Bushmead Road! Spooky!
Caught my second and final Fairline yacht movement of the year on Monday morning also. Not the biggest vessel I've ever seen lugged down there, but still a decent sized old boat!
