This website is not yet three years old, but it already has quite an impressive web presence. For example, cocking.org is has climbed the search engine rankings to become the first-listed result when searching Google, Yahoo, A9 , Live and Alta Vista using the single word 'cocking' although for some reason it is still in second place on MSN . Now the Cocking entry on much-used Wikipedia , the web encyclopaedia, lists cocking.org as a primary external link. Last, but not least, for some time Cocking has had an entry on the Geograph site that maps every one kilometre square of the country with local photographs. A surprising number of surfers from around the world land on cocking.org and sites such as the above are part of the reason for that. |

Second Speed-Activated Sign - activated |
|
Friday, 02 November 2007 |
 As villagers will know, there has been a speed-activated 'Slow Down' sign in Cocking for some time. This is activated by motorists exceeding the 30 m.p.h. limit on entering Cocking from the north on the A286. Since 1st November, Cocking has had a second sign to warn traffic entering the village down Cocking Hill from the Chichester direction. Our reporter photographed the new sign today (from the verge) and we have produced an animation to demonstrate how it works when activated by a speeding motorist.
It wasn't difficult to take a shot of the illuminated sign as all the cars which passed the sign while our reporter was taking his pictures broke the speed limit. There's a messge in that somewhere.
While on the subject of compliance with laws, this website has been asked to remind its readers that the bus shelter is a No Smoking zone. A fact that seems to have escaped some of its users. |
