Northern Constabulary Reaction to Avalanche

[nigelonich]

Three people lost to an avalanche in Glencoe on Saturday but whilst driving back through Glencoe yesterday in the sleet and snow showers stuggling to see the tarmac there was a white speed camera van just south of the location of the Avalanche on the A82. What a monumental waste of time.

In the words of Wogan 'is it me'?

No, it's not just you.

There is only one good purpose in that talivan being there at that time; to help you blacken the reputation of the parasites of the SCP...

Yes, it was there when I passed on Sunday, about mid day I think. Did you look up the Glen Etive road, it looked horrendous up there, snow swirling, visibility must have been virtually nil.

Emmmm!! Mibbie because of the really bad weather it might be a good idea to try and catch some eejit who decides to drive at some daft speed on the road, would rather see them out in bad weather as opposed to a bright sunny summers day.

Just my two bobs worth P.S. Cameras are keech.

I hope there was no-one to catch in such foul conditions and that the scammer got nothing but chilblains for his bother.

My point is that we should take every opportunity to badmouth the SCPs and the parasites that work for them; they are the enemy, they are to be brought low.

The cars were coated in snow including that bit the camera uses to tell who you are, think about it.

Is it me, or is there a speed trap in Glencoe semi-permanently now? Gone are the days that you could blast through unhindered.....

Yup - in one of the laybys just before the skilift.

Seen it there but it was down at a carpark just as you get near the gorge. Just when you think its safe to overtake!
