(a) I've never been done by a speed camera. The issue is what they are there for, not whether they have affected me personally
(b) appraisals. It's just my experience, dude. If you work somewhere where they are a meaningful part of your work existence, wonderful. I expect you are in a minority though. And yes, I have managed people. Lots of people. And been described as "the best manager I have had". Precisely because I don't have to sit people down once a year, the appraisal is on-going and free of HR bullshit.
(c) Airport security. I would have thought if it's really important then the levels of staffing wouldn't be an issue. Don't tell me that post security checks, when you enter a large shopping area, it would be impossible to smuggle weapons or bombs in.
(d) Nut allergy. Yes, I know how important it is for people to be aware of nut content in food. I was talking about a warning about nuts ON A PACKET OF NUTS. An unnecessary sign, methinks.

Sorry for that bit of shouting.
