Good on him, he might be out of pocket by £100, but he still has a visual pun sense of humour.

Frame built by my own fair hand, heavily supervised, at the former Downland Cycles a few years ago. Cobalt blue by Argos.
Managed to find some reasonably suitable steel forks to get this frame back up together. Treated myself to another pair of Brand X carbon bars and seatpost from Condor.

Remarkable. Let’s hope his next effort isn’t, I dunno, a Star Trek phaser.
A good many car journeys are
A good many car journeys are successfully and safely completed – no aqualplaning, no medical episode, overcast so no sun in the driver’s eyes, no-one called or texted and the kids in the back even managed to behave themselves for a change. And no-one parked their van at the road side or erected a yellow box in their front garden.
For these things I think we should grateful every day.
Traders plea ‘save our town’
Traders plea ‘save our town’ as park charges set to be introduced in Midsomer Norton
Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg feared the charges ‘will suck blood out of the local economy’
Sean [Dudden of Dustland Fairytale Antiques] said “trade has fallen in recent weeks due to the announcement of parking charges and other traders have similar experiences. He added residents were frustrated that Midsomer Norton Town Council was not involved in the plans.
He added: “It is about democracy and respect for traders, customers and residents in the town. “We have a park charge-free oasis in Somerset where people can enjoy the town without Big Brother coming over and slapping on signs. The people here are lovely, but it is an area that needs to be treated with respect.

Ah but taking pictures of things to defy the man (avoid a fine) is righteous. Taking pictures of people to grass on them to the cops (perhaps because you have feared for your life previously) is …Well, OK, perhaps if you’re an elderly lady being harrased by antisocial yoof (and sometimes the odd “not from round ‘ere” reference slips out) … but pretty much any other time it’s bang out of order.
Heard more of this “snitching on people” on the Beeb (Radio 4, “Antisocial” today – only caught the start tho). I think the nuisance wasn’t that everything went unchallenged, it’s just that because a few obvious issues were picked up on other things like “the whole premise of the argument” seem to get a pass.
Joking apart, I always think “driver didn’t see the sign” is rubbish. They see them all right.
