    I have spoke to the safer roads bureau and they said that they no longer have to provide photographic evidence, unless you take it to court where you will have to pay the court fees, my point is that even though the camera is down the road from me and I do pass it on a daily basis but do not...

    Working out the pitch of a roof

    Can't agree with that, I think it will look worse from the outside being able to see through the plastic 3 ply insect filled damp roof and seeing the back of insulated plaster board.
