His Royal Dryness, The Duke of Cork

Raining today (and no doubt flooding in places) so the Short Brook traffic lights are down.

A while back, I set up email accounts so that I could use them depending on what they were for.  I did this primarily to see if I got spammed after giving it to a supermarket.  I had a couple of dubious ones from estate agents, but nothing untoward. Imaging my surprise getting an email to stagecoachwifi@ this morning!  They've either been hacked, or sold their data to someone who has been.  This is the first email I've received to this address, I'm not even sure I got an email after registering on their WiFi (about 6 months since, I think). Intriguing!

Need to record the weather, to see if that is a factor.   Lights were working on the way home last night (5:30pm).  Short Brook traffic lights not working again this morning.

Traffic lights on the main road seem to be down every other week.  I've decided to record the down time on here, so I can see when they were down and which ones were down.  There are two sets: one at Direct Cars and one at the junction of Eckington Way and Westfield Northway/Holbrook Avenue.  That's a bit of a mouthful, so I'll call that one Short Brook, as that's the stream running very near to it (according to Google Maps) So today in the morning, Short Brook traffic lights were down.
