I started with the new ANPR company which head hunted me today and was pleased to find that they had their own ideas for implmenting the new ANPR design and they weren't expecting me to simply tell them what to do.

I was dreading them sitting me down and showing me their version of the camera I had just designed.So I am able to apply my experaince rather than trade secrets.

I am also a good distance from home so I can bike there and back in the summer.I have given up on being part of any cycling club I just ride with mates, you find in clubs 90% of the people are sane just a bit obsessed, 9% are deeply obsessed and not the type of people you would want in your home, 1% are barking mad, and clubs are always ruined by arsehole management consultant types who want to be chairman.
One old geezer at my last club, he did some work for me, the cheque bounced as they do, and he went nuts, starting telling people I was trying to rip him off and all sorts.

So anyway avoid clubs of all types is the best thing.
