Conference govt02::basingstoke

    Is there not supposed to be a public announcement to this effect.
    
    I did not notice this either. My girlfriend who lives near Portsmouth
    did, and brought it to my attention.

It was in last Friday's Gazette.

Does that count as a public announcement?

    >It was in last Friday's Gazette.
    
    This assumes that you read the friday gazzete. An announcement in the
    wednesday one would have been nice.
    
    If I have to buy a papaer I certainly do not waste time buying the
    local rag.

    They have changed a lot of local speed limits to the 30 limit,  On
    Hatchwarren Lane (I think that's what it's called - you know - the one
    that goes parallel to the motorway behind Brighton Hill and the new
    housing in Hatchwarren) they've put up lovely new signs with the
    standard 30 limit on a bright yellow background.
    
    Keep your eyes skinned if you don't read the local papers!

    >Hatchwarren Lane (I think that's what it's called -
    
    Its Cliddesden Lane.
    
    IMO it should be 40mph as should be Hatch Warren Lane which leads from 
    the Viables roundabout to the foot of the hill where Cliddesden Lane
    starts. There are no houses facing these roads. Its bizarre that the
    road from Viables to Brighton Hill r'about is 60mph (national speed
    limit) which does have several roads joining it and many houses facing
    it. It doesn't make sense.

     The Harrow Way.
    
     Harrowing as a cyclist, I can tell you.
    
     A/.

    Actually,
    
    They've just redesignated that stretch of Harrow Way as a 40 mph zone
    as well, so watch out.

    I vaguely recall a joke about Harrow, a taxi driver and a chinese chap. 
    
    Harrow Taxi !
    
    You had to be there.....

    
    The reason I heard was that the speed has been reduced because
    of the PUB and the  New houses by the PUB and and also because
    of the children walking home from the new school St Marks.
    
    I say well done for reducing the speed, the lower the better I say.
    If I had my way it would be 20mph.
    
    High speeds belong on the race track or on the Motorway. 
    
    Remember the speed limit is also to ensure your safe journey, could
    your car and you handle 60mph on a single track lane???
    
    my two cents worth
    

    > If I had my way it would be 20mph.
    Is that so everyone would be travelling the same speed as you :->  
    only joking - honest !
    
    I agree with you actually.  Since I've been driving the speed limit
    everywhere (when I've been able to figure out what it is) I find
    driving more mellow and relaxing (and safe - touch fake walnut dash)
    
    Unfortunatly this makes me late for work.

    Chris,
    
    Get up earlier, then you will get to work on time, without
    breaking the law.

    Lawrence,
    
    >Get up earlier, then you will get to work on time, without
    >breaking the law.
     
    That's a good idea, another good idea would be to get Steve Freke to
    pick me up on his way in :-}
    
    
    Chris  

    By the time I arrive in work at 09:20 you are still getting out of bed.
    Nevermind being ready to leave the house. :-)
    
    PS. Andy, I don't actually get into work at 09:20.
    Rich keep you mouth shut, and you will live. 
    
    Steven, Formally known as metro man

    Steve,
    
    You, like the system managers for GOVT02 have not put your clocks back
    an hour.  I'll prove my point....
    
    Your note says it was entered at 18mumble, when infact it's 17mumble.
    *ALSO*
    When I get into work at 0830, you're always in the canteen before me....
    *AND*
    You're always exactly 1 hour early for things these days....
    
    I rest my case.
    
    Chris
                

    
     Chris, 
    
     move groups and get onto shift, that way you'll have a varied
    weekly routine and thus be forced to look at clocks often enough
    to get to work on time.
    
    ;-)
    
     Or move here and be 11 hours in front, so you have time to walk
    to work.
    
     Helpfully yours.
     Andy/.

    you should all leave your cars at home and pedal in on bikes.
    dangerous things, cars. people get killed by cars. they should
    all be banned I tell you!

    
     Then the government would introduce bicycle tax, to make up the
    lost revenue. I reckon that it is better for the country if the
    majority use cars, thus keeping less fit, dying younger and not
    overburdening the remains of the NHS.
    
     ;-)

    ...I just can't imagine "Police Stop" on Raleigh Grifters or "X-Bikes" on
    Tomahawks...
    
    Needs a bit more thought that Rolly.
    
    Chris  :-}   

    re .13
    
    Sorry to enter the fray so late, but I just wanted to know....
    
    If Steve is "formally known as Metro Man" then what does he now want to
    be known as?  
    
    Please form an orderly queue to begin a new round of "Insult Steve
    Freke".
    
    Jon  ;-)

What?  The one that burnt down before opening?
