Gonna sound like a whingeing
Gonna sound like a whingeing driver here, but isn’t this (photo) the police doing the exact same thing they normally book drivers for?

“You can pay for parking via cash, card or online any time before you exit the car park on the day of your visit.
The charges are as followed throughout the year:£2 an hour
£4 for 2 hours
£6 all daySince installation [of ANPR], the misuse associated with the car parks has declined immensely.”
Not sure I’ve understood the entry pricing, but it seems like it’s free to go in, but each adult needs a (typically) £20 wristband to go on the rides, bowling etc.
It’s just one try-on after another, drivers.

In the old days when car parks were patrolled by people, you’d never have been ticketed while you waited to exit. With ANPR, the click is ticking until you leave the site entirely.Yes, I remember parking attendants:

“What is even worse is parking attendants stood and watched people park, get out and head off and then fined them when it was clear they didn’t know.”

The first dedicated Cost of Living section I’ve seen, on this paper’s site. To this incident, well, since every car/van is driven by an honest grafter doing his best, just trying to feed his family (not remotely a middle aged man on a pleasure trip), I assume this was a workplace car share – innovative and thrifty – they finished a late shift at’mill at at 2 am and found a late night bar for a couple of drinks before starting out to drop off each worker back home but it all got out of hand.

In Liz we Trust, eh? That’s Liz “rule out anything sensible”/ ‘look at anything batshit crazy’ Truss, whose handlers are going to have to work her through all the right-wing nutjob “radical” suggestions that are now popping up – what have we got so far, lifting motorway speed limits, having smoking in pubs back, burning ‘old’ books to keep warm, to name but a few. The Left have most of the ideas on energy that might actually have an effect, which places them off-limits for now.
Still, it’s only for a few months, enough to give people time to forget Boris Johnston’s many shortcomings and then welcome him back in.
In the last couple of years, I’ve had to shed my previous ignorance on shipping, viruses, food production, water, and now energy. I hadn’t realised, for all the difference it makes, how much Europe had sleep-walked into relying on Russian energy. Man, have we dropped the ball.
