Thanks Mike. Had to deal with the usual smattering of self entitled numpties driving large cars and believing the residential speed limits don't apply to them.
Currently stopped in the Morrisons in y Fenni for breakfast.

I love sticking to the 20mph limit and seeing how many cars I get behind me.... IMHO enforcement should be more rigorous and start at 23mph and not 26.

Enjoy brekky!

I like the 20mph limit too. It's generally made Llanfyllin feel much calmer. Until, that is, the farming crowd arrive, with HGV sized tractors and trailers/muck spreaders. They don't even observe the 30mph limits. I hate speed cameras, but I'd be happy to have one in Llanfyllin!

Last year we had a holiday on Anglesey just after the revised speed limit was introduced and how much more pleasant it was walking through the towns and villages. Cannot believe it will be long before it is introduced more this side of the Severn.

Speeding tractors is my main reason for having a dashcam.

Morning all. Heading back from Exeter today. A quick dash across the city to Tesco for breakfast first, then the tedious trek back up the motorway.

How is Friday looking for everyone else?

Looks like summer's over! It's about 14 degrees and drizzling

Windy too! Wind turbines are doing their thing and if you are on a smart tariff electricity is cheap today. It is cloudy as anything though, making it dark! I needed the light on for work earlier.

Daughter and grandsons are here for the weekend. It's going to be fun but exhausting.
