That doesn't surprise me. People like that are basically riding the crest of a wave, having caught it before everyone else. The problem is it requires very little skill, no qualification and is easy to replicate. The more airbrushed pictures get uploaded of girls with their tits hanging out of some boohoo or etsy, the less money they're worth. Same with food bloggers and these insufferable 'reaction' videos. To come into this 'industry' new these days, you've got to do something new and special to get sufficient followers to make a living. 'Bob's Food Blog' is played out as a concept and a lot of restaurants are sick to death of them expecting free stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 (edited) Variable speed limits on motorways, with gantry cameras, where for no immediate reason the speed varies say 70-40-40-70-50-40-70. Often due to a queue off a junction or bit of debris that disappeared 30 minutes prior. Highways England are much more likely to create a pile up with the stopping, speeding up and then braking than prevent one with these tactics. Don’t even get me started on ‘smart motorways’… Edited 30 March, 2022 by saint1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's due to go soon though I think. And then it won't be long until there's more roadworks and closures on the M27 for resurfacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
