I have, for the last 2 years, run a website for my local (Northamptonshire) branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). I don't have a beard, or wear sandals, I just like the taste of Real Ale and know a bit about HTML and PHP. Anyway, the site is named (appropriately) Northants CAMRA.
The website resides at
I have recently found out that the local Safety Camera Association (speed cameras by any other name) have registered the name Northants CAMERA and have applied to my service provider to take over the URL. I didn't even get an e-mail or a phone call. They could have been reasonable, even asked for a "disambiguation" link on the homepage, but no.
tl;dr - someone nicked my domain name.
