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.

It was taxed for its first
it looks to me like it wouldn’t need tax or MOT if it was only used for short distances on the road
It was taxed for its first year and was therefore allocated a tax band. As Rendel keeps saying, it’s the DVLA which decrees whether they have to pay real money, but they still have to renew every year. It would be a DVLA failure if they then recorded VED as ‘missing’ for 10 years. That’s not impossible, as DVLA is pretty hopeless. I’m still going for evasion! We’ll see if my MP manages to get anything out of them, or if they hide behind the usual GDPR to cover up. It’s regularly travelling at least 4 miles into Garstang and back, and likely further- I have several photos going back to 21 but previously all of the front. There’s no front plate and they’ve carefully hidden the rear plate. It’s road-homologated and may well be entitled to a reduced rate, but not a zero rate! The trouble is that it’s the Wild West up here for traffic law- there are numerous massive horsepower tractors and trailers with no plates at all, and they would crush a big Transit no bother, never mind a cyclist, and would get away with saying they thought it was a bag of potatoes

Fears grow as Brecon traders question town centre revamp’s impact
“The proposed changes to make it look pretty and everything are great – everyone agrees the pavements need attention and we need to smarten up the town – but taking away convenient parking used mainly by locals is terrible for business,” he said.
One of the most contentious aspects of the scheme is the removal of free roadside parking on High Street and the Bulwark, alongside a re-routing and narrowing of the carriageway.
Local traders say this could deter customers, especially those making quick visits or purchasing heavy items.
“My big issue is access for customers. Are they going to be prepared to walk from a car park to where we are?” he said.
“If you want to pop into town for a pot of paint or buy a large product, there will be nowhere to park just outside the stores, so people just won’t bother coming in.”
Arguing about a one hour
Arguing about a one hour tariff and of course people will go “elsewhere” if it’s too expensive to park.
Said a town traders assoc spokesman “after 2 years’ hard work, we managed to obtain a concession from Powys council that drivers can pay £1.50 to park for an hour instead of a minimum £2.50 for two hours. Now we look forward to a new era of prosperity as customers roll in, ready to buy” Another trader added “let’s hope we can now put behind us the era of paying £2.50 to park, which has done so much to stifle trade – the one hour tariff can’t come soon enough”

Well, hands up who thinks this is a problem for somebody? It’s John Deere Cross-Over Utility vehicle PO64 AUR. The rear plate is determinedly obscured, but I’ve got it. Could it be a record?
