You can clearly see how adding tarmac to an area creates much more water run off by the amount of ponds that they have had to create. Its been a relatively dry winter so far, but most of them are already full ...

Happy Christmas to you too and family Geoff, yes videos have slowed up a bit, partly down to the weather lately strong winds, poor visibility, drizzle, but i am working on a couple of projects at the moment, which are quite time intensive sorting out photos, and video and then co ordinating it all into a video.

Place is thanet that I drove on, has 30 signs all along the road but 20 painted on the actual road, I think that is very wrong. They have the money to drive and paint this crap but run out before taking all of the previous speed signs down, its ridiculous, the signs actually should take priority because the 20 on the road is not always visable

@@fredflintstone1024 A couple of years ago we had an artic lorry, loaded with concrete railway sleepers (probably for Bodmin rly, ) turn down a very narrow, twisty lane nearby. He did just get through, but took out two stone hedges on the corners. I saw a Cormac person in a van who was trying to find where the lorry had gone (no chance!). 'Well put a restriction sign up at the start of the lane, " he said. Never happened and large HGV's still go down thereripping out the hedgerown. Oh well.

There is a difference between a 20 mph zone and a 20 mph. My understanding is that in the 'zone' the street furniture will look like it's 20 mph, so traffic calming, maybe some shared spaces etc. So there is no need for repeater signs. In a 20 mph limit, repeaters are required every 200 yards.
@ChrisDaubney3 ай бұрын
In Roche at the top end speed limit drops from 30 down to 20 backup to 30. Where the kids play at the park and where do kids catch their bus to school and where the kids cross the road go to school just around the corner where is 20 mile an hour outside the school surely the speed limit from the top end down to the graveyard should be 30 from the graveyard write down through the village should be 20 miles an hour I would have thought that would make sense 🤔

It’s a challenge to get all the information in the short timeframe of what you are looking at on screen, i’m afraid otherwise the video would be much longer, i do try and give the longer captions more time on screen and the shorter ones a shorter time on screen to fair to all that are trying to digest it all, but you have the option of pausing the video of course :)

I've had this operating in my van for a week, and here's my thoughts: How is this thing even legal??? This thing is ridiculous and frankly, dangerous. It's impossible to safely accelerate to a sensible speed when crossing or joining a dual carriageway, entering a roundabout, or accelerating on a motorway slip road, without hitting the orange or red lights and getting a warning. It is also VERY distracting. Even increasing my vans speed by 1mph with the cruise control, with ECO mode switched on, on a flat road, will bring on 2 or 3 green lights. Increase by 5mph and I'm hitting the red! I've read the developer replies on Google play store, and it seems they've made 100% unachievable, which is ludicrous. I'm not convinced at all that this device is getting its data from the vehicle. The website says: "Lightfoot can get a true picture of how the vehicle is being operated, taking into account factors such as gear selection, revs, engine load, payload, whether the vehicle is going uphill or downhill, and even whether it’s towing." I don't believe this one bit. If I set my cruise control to 50mph, it doesn't matter if I put the van in 3rd 4th 5th or 6th gear, the lights do not change, so it is certainly NOT monitoring engine revs or fuel efficiency, and it doesn't tell me to change gear. If I put the van in neutral downhill, the vans speed will increase - because of gravity. But the device will show 2 or three green lights, yet I'm not accelerating! Accelerating to 60-70mph on an uphill or downhill motorway slip road is nigh on impossible without triggering the red light. - It DOES NOT take into account whether the vehicle is going uphill or downhill. I believe the only thing that is making this work is GPS - and that is the only way it is monitoring speed & acceleration. It is NOT getting data based on how the engine is running at all. Therefore, it is massively inaccurate.

I know Plymouth quite well, having thought of moving to Cornwall, etc. It's astonishing how we, the Englash, have been mutilated and abused by the so-called Élites (the 2%) and their Bullies (the 10%). Just look at how all that work of previous generations has been wountenly destroyed. As just one example: the 'conversion' of the Municipal Technical and Scientific School into 'Luxury' flats.

A fantastic video and shocking to see how much more has gone in just over a decade. The big slab by the house you said could collapse has done so. When you see the old photos the beach came around from North Hallsands (not Beesands as labled) in one continous curve in front of the Village of Hallsands. For a 2011 Drone it is so much better than the junk i bought recent years from Ideal world and Temu. Far better picture quality range and duration. Thanks for uploading.
