My wife identifies as a spaniel. I’m sorry, I’ll read that again – my wife identifies it as a spaniel – specifically, a lucky spaniel that is fortunate (so far) not to have gone through the windscreen on the next emergency stop.

The usual driver response on road noise issues is “don’t live there then”, so is there a corollary for drivers in 20 mph areas?

That parking space charge does seem unfair. If they’re going to insist that people only park in marked spaces, then the markings should be clear and unambiguous. If they don’t want people parking in that space, then they need to just put yellow diagonal lines across it.
If “insist” means it’s part of the ts and cs displayed to drivers, then he hasn’t complied. He would plead in his defence that the space is unmarked.
I’ve no experience of what the courts are doing with cases like this – I suspect they’re regarded as an unnecessary stream of activity.

Parking charges to be
Parking charges to be introduced at Chatham Dockside
Radhe has lived in Chatham for the last 37 years and explained she’d be less inclined to come to Dockside if she had to pay for parking.
She said: “It’s a bad idea. It will discourage people from coming.”
Her friend, Helen, lives in France but was visiting dockside with Radhe for coffee and a catch-up.
She added: “We chose to come here for coffee today as we know it’s free to park here.
“We probably wouldn’t have if we knew we had to pay for parking. Business will suffer if they start charging for parking.
so your friend from France is over (ok so living in France doesn’t make you a wealthy person per se) but you are driving somewhere for coffee.
does £1.25 for up to two hours’ parking really mean that much to you?

Welcome to “car crashes into building”. In the most notable instances, it’s “man arrested after car crashes into wall” like he’s a rogue builder putting up walls in the middle of the road.

Fresh Exeter road blocks fury
Fresh Exeter road blocks fury as angry locals slam hellish traffic
“What would have taken me a five minute journey to Heavitree now takes me 25 minutes through horrendous traffic”
When asked how she had found the scheme so far, Hayley Oldridge said: “Horrendous, because I live at the bottom of Wykes Road and everybody that would normally go up through Heavitree is turning around and there’s so much congestion and cars hitting each other at the end of that road or they’ll come zooming up Wykes Road. It’s just moving a problem from one area to another.
“What would have taken me a five minute journey to Heavitree now takes me 25 minutes through horrendous traffic. How is that saving pollution? It’s actually causing more pollution.”

“He explained how on August 9 he parked in the car park and left the windows on his converted Volkswagon open for his pet labrador. His ticket then blew over because of the breeze.”
that’s if the poor thing survived being left in the car for how ever long – beach car parks aren’t known for having a lot of shade, are they? Perhaps 9 August was one of those indifferent weather days? Dogs are banned from the beach during the day, so I start to wonder if you thought this through.
