Our youngest and brightest cocker does that, only our carpet doesn't always allow the ball to drop down the stairs when she places it, too carefully at the top!
So I have to place it for her and give it a nudge!

Stat's show significant chance of predestrians surviving at 20 as opposed to 30. Assume it would be that. I do 20 past schools where they have flashing yellow fings pointing oot 30 becomes 20 during school times. Peeps behind dun't like that.
Actooly, I turned out of a 30 onto a 30 then entered a zone that used to be a 40 but now continues as a 30.
There was no plod with them.
So I didn't notice that there no longer was a 40 speed limit panel. Possibly, and only possibly, cos a/ why would I look? It's been a 40 for 35 years or more and b/ I was looking at the lights and the roadworks on that same junction, cos the limit used to change on the junction.
Anyway I got a very nice email from the burd, telling me that under the circs she is wiping me off their data base, we had been out of the country when it all happened and the warning signs had been taken away.
She also admitted that even if I had been caught 3 times by them all they could do was tell the plods who would send a uniformed hofficer round to have a quiet word with me.
It is CSW, I didn't have a pop at them I calmly expalined the circs, it wasn't a waste of time, as you can see, and according to them the plods would/could not send me a NIP ot a tot or anything else! They didn't let me off, they didn't have the power to do anything else, and that 3 times over apparently, or at least twice if three times = visit from plod.
And I have known for years that street lighting = 30 unless there are repeaters of another limit. This grandfather doesn't need teaching how to suck eggs!
As I said it flipped me off that I got caught out cos normally I drive under all limits.
I think they make a list of times, date, place, reg number and possibly speed driven through and send it to Dorset Police who have the authority to find out your name and address and then send you a letter. With Data protection I doubt any beggar in the group has access to all that. In my case it did seem to be just one person fielding enquiries as she answered my email (her contact details were on the DP letter) and she decided to wipe me off the database. So I still have a clean sheet with them.Pretty sure it's on the guidelines they can't change a limit over a short distance. Is it a real limit change or have they made it up?
You have to be trained to use a calibrated speed gun. Limit signs went up near me before the limit was legally changed!! Yet the police were enforcing it. How do they have access to dlva database!?
I have no idea how short a distance it is but they have extended 30s into 40s all around our ville.
I did ask about the whether Traffic police lent them the gun and whether it was calibrated properly but she didn't asnwer that question.
It is a bit murky. They do invite you, on their leaflet to join them! I'd have to do that to find out all the answers to your and my questions!
Don't think I'll bovva!!!
Totally agree!
I think a thirty then leading into a 20 would be better, or a 40 leading into a 30, which is what we have a lot of round here as we too have lots of straightish narrow country lanes and that is what they do, often with a speed camera shortly after the
beginning of the 30.
You could always find (and joinmaybe) your local CSW bunch, if they have them in Wales, then maybe you could persuade them to do what goes on round 'ere.
Which Brian?
You mean MOL?
I've heard that they control it betterer though. But I might have heard it wrong.
I sometimes do!!

...so.....
Drove to Bath and back last night.
Play was OK.
"The Score" about JS Bach, his son, a big bet, the invasion of Silesia, (massive overtones of the situations in Ukraine and Israel/Gaza), and Frederick the Great.
Very interesting, enough to make me Google Frederick the Great and look up JSB in a book or two I inherited from my dad. (I'll do this layter!)
Didn't experience rain or flooding but guess we were lucky.

Did I tell you my uni had an exchange thing with a Merkin uni, Georgetown or summat? They called it "the beaver exchange" and there was a lot of wimmins on it! At the time us Brits didn't use the word "beaver" in that context so much, but the Merkins did!The more beaver I have the better.
So we learned its use from them! Laughs and red faces!
Think the person who set it up had a sense of yuma!!!
Right, enuff of this pleasant banter, must get back onto EDF France and give them yet another telling off for their inability to send me bills here, despite me telling them over and over again where to send them.
I did ask the updates on home WiFi.. data usage on apps looks normal, so it will be system/Google using mobile data that is hidden from view
But, but, but..... there's no such thing as a good Freelander, all their doors keep falling off.
