bloke walks into the office at the Sunderland Echo -
'My wifes just died and I need to get her obituary in the paper. But we have been very poor and have hardly any money so I would just like to say "Marje is dead" you see I can only afford £5.'
Receptionist says - ' I'm awfully sorry to hear that Sir, but £5 would not even buy you those 3 words. Let me pop back and have a word with the editor and see what we can do...(2 mins later)... ah, Sir, good news - a new special deal - for £5 you can have 6 words!'
Old bloke - ' Oh thankyou so much, in that case - "Marje si dead, Metro for sale"
PS - of course this is all a sick joke - if the old bloke lives in Sunderland his metro will have been nicked years ago.....

I presume this is the 'put ion your registration and this will tell you if you have been caught speeding'? website Nigel?
Nasty thing

Sorry chaps, it doesnt work for me anymore either, someone must have pulled the plug, it did look so official, caught me a treat, or maybe I'm just a bit thick !!

Apparently, if my source is correct, if you are caught by a speed camera you can view your photo online.
Has anybody been unfortunate enough to be able to confirm if this is correct?

I got caught by the south wales civvys in 2001, and they flatly refused to send me the photo, they said I had to visit thier offices !
I would be suprised if you could view it online, data protection act and all that, how would they know who was requesting it ?
And yes I know, I still got caught by that spoof website
I imagine that has been pulled because it did look so official
