Not that I would, of course..... but

According to R4 a new type of speed camera is to be introduced to British roads.  The current cameras apparently only take photographs from the rear of the vehicle whereas the new one will take pictures from the front.  This will allow driver recognition so that fewer ticketed drivers will claim their car was driven by their clean-licensed sister, son, cousin or alternatively by their American, Japanese or Azerbaijani visitor.  The useful things we 6 pointers learn when we listen to the news! 
My Indonesian pal Annette Kurtin may come in useful if I ever get another ticket for doing 32mph in a 30 zone.
 
Another item may have prompted millions of listeners to do their bit for wildlife by creating numerous small ponds around their gardens, next to their veg plots or flower beds perhaps.  Old fashioned metal dustbins could be utilized for this purpose, or people could use silage sheeting over old carpet as I have done myself. 
It's within the water regulations for ponds to be filled via hosepipes even when there's a hosepipe ban (which there isn't, nor likely to be in my region).  It's also acceptable for watering cans to be filled from ponds.
