Have decided it isn't paranoia....
......the Sussex Speeding Vigilantes are out to get me.
Locally, 'they' (not sure who 'they' are yet, but working on it) have a portable speeding thing that clocks your speed and either smiles or frowns at you as you trundle past. This was first spotted on the day after I moved here. Here I was getting a feel of the place - actually looking for a local village or town with a Halifax, driving around in my little motor and suddenly I encountered a road side sign with a sad smiley face. Is it called a smiley face when it's sad, I suspect not. Anyway, this sad face informed me that I was doing 42 in a 40 mile zone. I laughed at it but wasn't too concerned.
I have now discovered sad smiley thing is stalking me. Everywhere I go it follows me. It doesnst matter which village or town I go through or how remote the place is, Sad Face is there scowling and showing his disapproval. I even changed my plans on Monday and went to a different town to get a Birthday present for Master and on the way back who do I see plugged into a local village? Sad Face informing me of my current speed.
I am getting concerned, am I part of an experiment on paranoia? Are satellites tracking my car and unknown grey men are rushing out to plug in Sad Face on my return? I never see it being installed or dismantled.
Today I thought I'd fool them, I only left the house to take and retrieve my daughter from school, and what do I find? Bloody SAD FACE on the road by the school.
Today, Master has gone away for a few days, he thinks my paranoia is amusing. Now I have the trauma of not having anyone to discuss my Speeding Stalker with. So folks it's down to you, would welcome advice of how to deal with current trauma. I may get locked up if I go out with a hammer in the dead of night to deal with him.
Yours very paranoid
