    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.

    Annual invasion of cockchafers has begun across the UK

    People report the loud bugs flying round their homes and ‘whacking’ them in the face

    One to look out for here. In other news, it’s now warm enough for me to break out the ill-fitting cycling shorts.

    Should draft a petition to leave it there as a memorial / public art. I would prefer to see something more in tune with ancient indigenous monuments though, like a cairn (car-n?).

    You could have this in the south-west:

    Update – reached the news, unfortunately injuries in this case.  Still unclear exactly how they ended up there.

    Give it enough years and you’ll probably find a KSI on any given road.  While searching for news on this one I found that 13 years back there was a hit and run fatality here.

    Must be spring, more of these

    Must be spring, more of these cars gambolling about.  This just by me this afternoon.  30mph limit on the road (it’s hardly a “main road” either), at this point it’s straight with clear sight lines.

    Hope all OK – probably too soon to have reached the news / not at all unusual…

    The council put up a tiny “no parking” sign, then gave all the parked cars tickets….
