“The man who works for free
“The man who works for free has gone on holiday and the man who lends tools has gone with him” would normally be my watch-word, but I might make an exception if the task was one of those builds.

Public told to spy on drivers who flout new Exeter road rules
Devon County Council has confirmed there are no cameras at new bus gates in Exeter but it has advised how the public can report anyone who violates the rules
It’s all in the language isn’t it, Mr Headline Writer. This commenter seems confused about the amount of policing:
JohnLD6 HRS AGONice of them to encourage social division instead of paying…do yourselves a favour and refuse. Bin your ring doorbells whilst you’re at it and stop offering free services where police should be, if there were any left.

Exeter residents living next to ‘noisy’ major development are now enduring sleepless nights from roadworks
Developer Watkin Jones has told DevonLive that the completion date for The Gorge is August 31, and that roadworks will take place between 8pm and 2am. They added that also due to the location of the works and the high volume of traffic, they have no other option but to close the highway overnight.

Like moving house or getting divorced, crashing your car/ chancing it is a rich man’s pursuit. Quite a worrying video.

Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring could see free parking axed
New excuse for cheap/free parking unlocked – a fair bit of gymnastics going on for Cllr Capozzi here:
“…because people are using those places for wellbeing, they should be some of the last to be charged,” she said. The Liberal Democrat councillor added “when you see the amount of people who use, for example, the skate park”, free parking becomes an issue of “losing access” to affordable exercise.”
Shocked Exeter locals reveal
Shocked Exeter locals reveal horror of police chase in cul-de-sac
“It all happened within a couple of minutes. I don’t think the car knew it was a dead end. You could see the desperation to get away”
“It was shocking as you didn’t know what they would hit next. If there had been any children out there they would have been killed.”
Witnesses say the car in pursuit ended up speeding down Wilton Way towards a dead end and collided with parked cars before it reversed into a house and damaged more cars, including police vehicles, before coming to a stop on the pavement wedged between a car and a wall.
One resident had three cars damaged during the incident. The damage to the house was minimal.

Oh, the car ads. The city you want to use it to escape from because of other cars. You can meet the other cars in the countryside instead, perhaps get stuck in some mud, sand or a narrow path as here.
The get away car – has a The Sweeney ring to it. I wonder if the copywriter intended that?

I was just thinking that looked like Young Ones territory. Overwrought and practically unwatchable now – TV sitcom was never the same again.
