Me too! With an actual price breakdown. I ignore media hype on the subject.

With the lowering of the standing charge, a 10% reduction in my bills from April could save me, ooh, £2 per month, I reckon.

For once, a pretty sensible article about speed cameras, in Devon in this case.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2xgm1n35ko
"Landrake resident Simon Boosey drives a breakdown recovery truck, and said he was caught driving at 33mph in the new 30mph zone and has since completed a speed awareness course.
He said: "I see the results of road collisions all the time so it's a good thing, even though I actually got caught by the camera myself, I'm glad it's there.
"I know people find them frustrating but I have a child and being hit at 50mph would be a much worse outcome."

General stuff from the French local elections:
No far right tsumani, leftists (Greens) and incumbents seemed to do pretty solidly, a possible successor to Macron easily won his mayoral election in the first round in Le Havre. Thr far right did as expected in the Mediterranean arc, but elsewhere it looks like French voters know how to keep them away from power, ditto Mélenchon's far left. The advantage of the rounds of election rounds that knock out the weakest performing candidates is that tactical voting becomes less of a lottery in subsequent rounds.
