A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

But it looks like they also don’t care for bollards either, judging by the damage in front of the rear wheel

So in six days two cars ended up on their roofs after crashing into parked cars outside a Tesco Express in Somerset.

Something must be done about this! Let’s start a petition to ban parked cars and Tesco Expresses in Somerset.

Man fined for littering after dropping parking ticket

Herefordshire Council said he had thrown down, left or otherwise deposited the penalty charge notice in a public highway.

The council gives out £140 fixed penalty notices for littering, which are reduced to £100 if paid within 10 days, but littering matters are taken to court for prosecution when defendants fail to pay.

Interesting that according to the local rag the people trying to stop lawbreaking are the ‘protestors’, and not the drivers flouting the rules and insisting on their illegal progress.

Better than ‘vigilantes’ I suppose.

I suspect people on the south side are going to Hadleigh instead as it takes the same amount of time and there are more shops.

This and ktache’s comment got me thinking – would there be less uproar if the human bollards simply took it in turns to leave their car (BOLAS duly deployed) for “just a minute” in the appropriate blocking location(s)?  They’d need to switch around – because everyone knows that if something stays in one place on a road for too long (like a cycle hangar) that’s also a crime against nature.

BOLAS please.
