    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’s a Brexit level of over-simplification the idea that car parking charges and retail prosperity are connected.

    It’s standard to have a

    It’s standard to have a suspended sentence due to full prisons.

    Although exceptions are made for hardened criminals such as Gaie Delap who is a clear and present threat to society.

    You can tell by the eyes.

    Yet another thug committing a severe unprovoked violent attack on a cyclist and receiving only a joke suspended prison sentence- why aren’t we surprised?

    “This will kill tourism” fury as Devon price hikes confirmed

    ‘I don’t know why this is happening, it’s wrong’

    https://www.devonlive.com/news/news-opinion/this-kill-tourism-fury-new-9906424?

    This turns out to be new parking charges – lower for locals higher for visitors in the south hams of Devon. All somehow getting equated with a Tourist Tax.

    California Cross: Motorists

    California Cross: Motorists issue stabbing threats over roadworks

    At about 09:00 GMT on Wednesday, the force said it received reports of an assault on Church Lane.

    A driver intentionally hit a road worker with their vehicle before fleeing the scene, the council said. The car’s registration number was given to the police.

    On Tuesday, a different motorist threatened to stab a worker before speeding off while the crew were setting up traffic controls to close Nine Mile Ride. 

    Later, another driver threatened to punch a worker, the council added.

    I wonder if anything was ever brought to court about any of this.

    Sometimes they [customers] look at traffic and say ‘it’s too dangerous, can’t get through’. It does start affecting the business,” he said.

    “It’s a rat run way through away from the A303. We also get a lot of verbal abuse.”

    BBC reheats the “roundabout with painted designs” story (featured on road.cc a while back)

    I’m pretty sure this is at least the third time the BBC have had a story on this – not sure why they keep forgetting that they’ve covered it.
