well, what could that be on
well, Wayne here we are in unfamiliar Cannock – what could that be on the wall, just over your left shoulder? Unfortunately, there’s meant to be another one on that post over your right shoulder, but that disappeared some time after November 2020. It’s been a loading bay at least since 2009.

It was a difficult one to decide to post on but I decided in the longer term all the excusing and downplaying isn’t going to help anyone.

I’m glad you did, it looked to me as though it could have been cut and pasted from almost anywhere in the past 20 years.
The highlighted “top” comment is such a cliche that I wondered if it was a cyclist in disguise.

Bailiff demands £394 as couple’s 2022 parking fine comes back to haunt them
Now Shaun and Joy Pickerill, from Fegg Hayes, have been given until 11 February to pay up
Heart attack victim Shaun, aged 64, said: “There were probably parking signs and meters but my wife made the basic assumption that it was free because it was the last time she’d visited. She put the parking ticket in the drawer at home and then forgot about it – I think she was probably too embarrassed to tell me about it at the time.

Wayne Woolridge can now appeal to Stoke-on-Trent City Council
“You’d expect to see a sign saying ‘loading area’ next to the spot, but there wasn’t one. “When I came back, I noticed a sign about 30 yards away in the opposite direction to the way I was walking.”

Another driving tragedy and
Another driving tragedy and another Coroner not grasping the bull by the horns, so we will learn nothing, take no meaningful preventative steps and it will be same time next week with yet another case. Another journalist making you read quite a long way down before it eventually comes out what actually happened:
Josh Alexander and pregnant girlfriend Jessica Poole killed in crash in Woodchurch, near Ashford, where poorly marked crossroads ‘could have been factor’
“He is believed to have been checking one of these apps just before unwittingly driving his Vauxhall Corsa across the junction and into the path of an oncoming DAF skip lorry travelling along Bethersden Road.
PC Masterson described Josh as looking “calm” and “in control of the vehicle.”
PC Masterson added: “Josh failed to recognise he was approaching a junction.
“He interacts with a mobile phone immediately before entering Bethersden Road.

Sandwich BMW drifter opens Skidz Advanced Driving School at Manston Airport
“Drifting on the road can cost up to £100 a night. You’ve got the worry of the police taking your car as well as being seen as a public nuisance. The drifter community just want somewhere safe to do it without the stress. Cars can reach five-figure sums and people don’t want to see them impounded.”
The engineer, who has a business modifying drift cars, has previously been banned from the road three times and fined a total of £7,000.
EDIT : I’m curious as to what the £100 a night actually goes on. Tyres, fines?

The driver had an expired provisional licence so should not have been on the road – and wasn’t even being supervised
