Its irresponsible, and I just don't condone this sort of behaviour.

The camera on the dual carraigeway between Avonmouth and Shirehapmton has been destroyed using paint, bathroom sealant and some black spray.

Obviously this will cost the camera partnership lots of money to put right, and I'm sure we all agree thats just not cricket.

I'm going to walk around all day tutting and muttering, as this has obviously put me in a bad mood now...

And how exactly would you know it was bathroom sealant specifically, eh?

Generally, because when I drove past, there was a used bucket of silk emulsion, and a B+Q tube of bathroom sealant on the floor beside it

This is not irresponsible at all. Those concerned were obviously trying to help the camera partnership with their redecorating costs. Very public spirited

Oh, generally! So it's not the first time you've done it!

Shook my head in disbelief earlier in the week as I passed a rather charred looking Gatso on the A303 on the Podimore side of Sparkford Hill. It was gone by the evening.

Shame.

That's the one that's been painstakingly located so as to ensure your mind is elsewhere just when you ought to be looking for traffic pulling-out from the side road to West Camel.

How thoughtless.

Oh how sad - it's almost become a part of the family, a bit like the M5 camel...

That explains the 'no flash' as I passed it at about 70 last night! (Lucky sod)
