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.

“Man with a lamp post outside

“Man with a lamp post outside his house rips out the front hedge to build a massive driveway, only to find he still has a lamp post outside his house.”

Residents say they are

Residents say they are plagued by over-eager traffic warden

Parking tickets have been placed on cars as early as 5.30am say disgruntled neighbours … even on Bank Holiday Monday

So have some residents made themselves a rule that parking overnight is OK? A resident said they were aware “it might be legally okay, but it is not fair or morally correct”

A one way street, getting rid of green space, nurses and carers, it’s all in there.

Horrendous story: Murderer

Horrendous story: Murderer steered car into crowd
but the part that baffles me:

McHugh admitted having almost no driving experience and had never had a driving lesson

He ordered the destruction of McHugh’s automatic Volvo, which he had acquired after trading in a manual Volkswagen Passat, eight days before the incident.

Never had a lesson. Had owned at least two cars.

Some people just can’t make their minds up.  Complain about people buying cars designed for off-road capabilities and only driving them on the road; and then complain when they take them off road.
