Come on Enough. I’m sure you have something to say on this matter.
Yes, the usual spewing from the sage of Seaview. He has an illness
The people suffering from illness is people like yourself
are you blind to what happens on a daily basis on
island Roads, or are you just stupid!
I’m not a sad little obsessive like you who has to comment on everything just to promote your blinkered little views with inarticulate spelling and grammar
I will keep saying that there needs to be
Camera’s installed on the island.
It will help the Police tackle speeding issues.
Congratulations Enough, you win the “Apostrophy”. A trophy for habitual misuse of the raised comma.
Cameras > Camera’s
Numpties > Numpty’s
HTF did that happen ?
More than likely speeding, it’s rife on the island
More shit driving on the island..at least 2 more off the road..
I cannot believe even in treacherous conditions
Idiots still speed, cannot teach Numpty’s.
