Things That Gladden The Heart

Finally found a free recording software (called Audacity) I can use on my laptop rather than using a decade old iPad with like the original version of Garageband on it.
 
Occupational hazard for me, I rarely appeal, but did when Bank suddenly changed, but lost anyway, central London is a nightmare now, go anywhere near a cycle or bus lane and you’re zapped, my latest was going in Rotherhite tunnel, hadn’t been that way for over a year, when they apparently changed the weight limit, but I didn’t see the sign until I turned into it ?

I got so lucky the other week at work. Round the north circular after the A10 I have always used that bus lane when out of hours. Auto pilot just went into it

Found out it's changed from 7-7 to all time .. (I was on leave when it changed) luckily didn't get a ticket but now know

Pure money maker ...

A lot have changed all over that were previously 7-10 now to 7-7, they’re mainly where they can’t put a specific cycle lane in so they keep the lane now totally free of cars, but the Ubers use them!

All these changes limiting lane usage is causing more & more congestion!

With you there

The bus lanes on North circular cause so much traffic

Audacity is superb, I mainly use it for chopping up sound bites and looping stuff, it's a bit limited for recording though imo. If you're recording instruments I highly recommend Reaper, absolutely top notch, really in depth and easy to use and absolutely free ?

I actually tried that and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.
 
Not sure if this fits here but it is the nearest existing thread.

4 years ago I got caught in a bus lane and received a ticket. For those who live up here it was John Dobson Street in Newcastle. That matters as it was infamous as an absolute money making scam by the council. No warning, dreadful signage, there were thousands caught in this. I was totally unaware I was in it until it was too late. Camera takes a picture, £30 thank you ?. I appealed and lost.

There were mass complaints and eventually court action. The council were forced to cancel and refund the fines but the sneaky blighters kept quiet, hoping no doubt to keep the money, and the system was you had to apply for a refund. Thankfully the local news picked this up and mentioned that thousands had not applied. Luckily I had the information stashed away in my emails, filled in the form and today, woo hoooooooo, the money hit the bank. It's only £30 but it was all about the principle. Stuff you Newcastle City Council, I'm sat here beaming ?
There's a couple of 24 HOUR Bus lane cameras in Glasgow, by the time you're close enough to read the the actual sign operating hours your stuck in the lane and caught on camera. Money making cash cow.:mad::mad:
