    For the authority that made the decision, to place a plaque on the edge of a footpath, on a very busy intersection, traffic lights included. On the MAIN route to the "towns" only international airport ... must have been lacking in respect to those it was representing.

    Any awareness of its location AND purpose. However distasteful it may appear ... must have a positive side.

    Are you taking the piss, that IS where the memorial is located. Imagine no disrespect is intended.

    I beg to differ... as it used to be. WHERE it used to be. In the MIDDLE of that road. It has been moved even.... to widen the intersection.

    Are you implying I photoshopped the pic? Posting a faked tag would kinda defete the purpose of the game dont you think? Or are you berating me for a general lack of respect because I took a pic of a war memorial and dared to post it on the net? If this is all you have to bitch about in life, I'd say you have it pretty sweet.

    I'm not quite sure how to take his comment dangerous. Every way I slice it, it comes out looking ignorant and slightly offensive.

    Would love to know what the right way is. I can't make head nor tail of it. I see no disrespect going on. Actually I think our war fallen would be stoked to see people having fun on bikes in a free country :-/

    As an ex serviceman, it has been our fear. To die in some asshole of someone's empire, to be forgotten ... or never known by many, or any, that they existed. They gave for your freedoms... enjoy those freedoms.

    In time ... over time, others will give too. Do not forget them.
