In Somerset we have the most vandalised speed camera in the country, its been sprayed with paint, set fire to and on one occasion a farmer pulled it down with his tractor!

Now they are on about putting in surveillance cameras to protect it, when will the madness end?

Guess I must be fortunate. The original meter was out of action for the last 5 months & I never got a ticket!

Metal powder like iron or aluminium, mixed with an oxidising agent like Sodium Nitrate, filler such as sand and a binder like waterglass.

Burns slowly but is almost impossible to extinguish.

PS don't smoke while mixing it or Darwin will get you.

Parking Meter Torched = No Parking

Not

Parking Meter Torched = Free Parking

Guess I must be fortunate. The original meter was out of action for the last 5 months & I never got a ticket!
