Greeting friends, customers and readers world wide as we slog through another day in the crazy world, thank goodness I was born when I was and not now there seems little that is better and even life expectancy in Britain is going backwards thanks to the Tories but I suppose it could be a Russian plot, who knows. We were robbed of our revenue by Youtube and it will probably be three months before the channel is earning again, robbed by greedy US companies claiming the BBC sound effect collection as there own, we have been demoneyterrorised by them or something like that, they won't actually say why but there 'team' examined our channel and we are either playing lopts of unauthorised pop music or robbing tv or video or even more bizarre something to do with computer games which I dont even know what they are. I can't even take ( and have no desire to do so) a photo with a mobile telephonic apparatus mine has been perhaps unfairly described as a brick! So that has meant a cut back on expenditure and even then reliant on a successful reapplication at the end of October, I'll try via the forums to dig deeper they like all USA rubbish companies won't communicate with mere mortals they just send repetitive drivel. I had perhaps my best day truck filming today since Malaysia and Indonesia early this year. I got four programme worth of film at the A500 junction ( lower) with M6, motorway blocked all traffic via the Stoke D road. It was one endless stream at my erstwhile favourite from earlier days on the roundabout by the old Irlams depot now Stobarts, the sun stayed away until I'd finished. It was then at a total halt the only lane open was closed and traffic stretched from Stoke to Stafford northbound. I went south following the clear sky to Cannock Bridgtown and had some nice shots there but a few clouds appeared so then headed north east via a scenic route through Rugeley towards Uttoxeter and thence to the A50 where I saw nothing but sunshine. One kind driver threw me down a box of Maltezers, hows that for kind, I remember in a heatwave drivers chucking down water bottles which were being distributed quite widely in the industry. There were wagons galore, nothing out of the way, no paint jobs or unexpected classics other than JCB. Then a police man came along,, .... we've had a call someone waving at the lorries, a concerned member of the public rang in , we have to investigate all calls ( except robberies, thefts, burglery etc??) . He was very polite and friendly and gave it a light touch but really they have that much time and resource in Staffordshire I'd demand a fifty percent reduction in police resources from tomorrow, get your bins emptied every week instead. I even got topped up with my sun tan today! Phototos start at the M6 closure diversion before the sun came out. Comments are closed.
