If you've been using the site for some time, I'm surprised you haven't noticed similiar questions!
There is a lot of competition for the free membership - not so much that folk are out there hunting cameras and trying to be first to submit them, simply that there are so many of us submitting "new" cameras in order to do our bit with keeping the database at the top of its field.
If you are very lucky ...
1) It'll be a new camera
2) You're the first to report it and will qualify for free membership (if you're even luckier, you only bought a one month £2 membership so that's all you will have lost).
3) Your submission has to be confirmed by a second independent submission and if it is, you're laughing.
You will subsequently (and quite quickly I think) be told and awarded the free membership.
BUT don't hold your breath. Like I said, there are loads of us out here and there's always some rotter who gets up before the rest of us.
Good luck with the membership AND with a new job.

Who does the verification?
Is it another member who spots it, or does someone go out and check?
This camera was there some two years ago, but was 'removed' by a vehicle. It was replaced by another one about 300yds to its rear afterwards, and now that has gone missing and this one is being put back.
It still has the old yard markings in the Kerb, unlike the newer in the middle of the carriageway |
