Well, it had to happen. I have noticed that one of the 2 Truvelos just under the Cradlewell bypass has been set upon. It's the one on the town-bound lane. It looks like it's been attacked with a blast from a shotgun. The front has chips all over it. And the camera itself has been rogered so that it now points in the wrong direction by some 90 degrees across the road. In fact, it could now take pictures of the other Truvelo on the other side of the road.

Righteous.

Now of someone could just turn the other one round, they can flash at each other all day while the motorists go about their business unmolested!

Update...

It is now pointing in the "correct" direction again. Drat. Can't these pillocks take a hint?

It's funny you should say that. About 5 years ago I was in Ireland visiting my gran and I went out hunting with 2 of the lads who drank in her old pub. I was dozing in the back of the car (on our way to hunting ground) when I was woken by a huge BANG!!!! They had pulled the car over and taken a pop at a dear in a field with the shotgun......without getting out of the car. I could hear ringing in my ears for ages.

Totally agree. They had a high powered rifle (which they used for deer stalking) as well but I'm sure that wasn't in the car at the time.

I used to belong to a gun club.

A .357 Magnum would also have left you with ringing ears
