That's 120 in a 30 limit, 160 in a 40 limit or 280 on a motorway. A £500 fine seems small to me - a motorists would have been looking at a jail term for those kinds of speeds. -- Bob ------------------------------------ Bob You have snipped ALL of my post and attributed John's post to me !! I can understand why because some mail programs don't indent correctly - yours included ;-( Phil settings online go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canals-list/join this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phil's emailer hasn't indented Bob's post when Phil is complaining about software that does this! - Because Phil has posted below Bob's signature separator, my program thinks all of Phil's post is signature, and removes it. This list seems particularly bad for poor quoting etc - dunno why.
