Hove man’s fury after receiving parking fine at Firle Beacon
“The park should encourage families and walkers to enjoy the countryside, not discourage them with disproportionate and misleading fines.”

Dorset dad’s ‘horror’ after being charged £12.40 for parking
Mr Fletcher said: “To our horror, we were parked there for just over an hour. I paid with my card, and I saw that I had been charged just over £12.
“If you want to go to Lulworth, you have no choice but to park there. I visit Lulworth around three or four times a month with my wife and two children who are four and 18 months. Because of these charges, we won’t be able to come here as much because we can’t afford it.”

We were told at school – literally a series of lesions given by a fish out of water PE teacher – that we’d have to develop leisure pursuits as computers would take over many of our future jobs. I guess the Payroll dept no longer comprises an army of clerks, but we mainly seemed to find other stuff to do.
I think there’s 2 levels with this – so in real life, hiring a daily cleaner or hiring a daily dog walker. One is paying someone else to do your menial stuff, the other is getting someone to live part of your actual life for you.
There’s the AI powered novelty stuff (like I wanted AI to add a canoeist to the picture of an Anthony Gormley statue that stands midstream in a river that we were joking about a days or so ago, but it wouldn’t on safety grounds) and there’s something like having an AI Agent represent you at an online meeting – that will get hilarious if/when more than one person does it. (I’m also thinking of the Family Guy episode featuring Bitch Stewie, an inferior clone). Or AI applies for jobs for you, another AI at the receiving end assesses applications.

oh dear me no, your correspondent Chrisonabike is badly mis-firing when he describes Dr Petrol as the inventor of the well-known fuel. The reality is different – Gasolina and Petronella were the sisters of a Dr Station, a little known surgeon practising near Budapest in the 1830s. The names later adopted either side of the Atlantic reflect how Gasolina, pioneer of her time emigrated to the oilfields of North America to develop the refining process on a larger scale. All three should be much better commemorated.
