Do they attempt to verify or at least sanity-check the anecdotes? I can imagine that at least some of the stories are utter bullshit made up by contestants who couldn't think what to write as their witty stories.

Makes me wonder what the most outrageous story to slip through the net and make it onto TV has been...

Thing is, it's hilarious but fucking angering at the same time. It's a pretty unique style of journalism that makes you giggle then slaps you and the people responsible in the face with the reality of the issue of the day.

I've no question that springs to mind but good job, Charlie. Keep it up.

Thanks for your question but let's talk about this website I started...

A Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matic!

Bs because the signals controller would detect a conflict (causing a major fault) and go flashing yellow. Would be impossible to tell it to do that.

I've seen a 'major fault' that didn't cause flashing lights, though. It was a fairly new intersection too. Something went wrong and the whole system locked up - the minor cross-street was stuck on continuous green and the major road was stuck on continuous red. It was crazy - people were running the red in frustration, getting out in front of traffic that had the green and the whole intersection got completely jammed up. Once they got there, it took a couple of cops a while to get people moving again.

I was under the impression that wasn't meant to be able to happen? At that point, it would have been easier if they'd just switched themselves off. At least people would have known what to do about that...
