Ah – reading comprehension

Ah – reading comprehension fail on my part (partly due to confusing quote – the ’24 hours a day’ bit was irrelevant) – I’d thought the restrictions were continuous, but work was only 7am-6pm.

So basically they’re complaining that it’s restricted every day but they’re not working every day? But they may not know ahead of time which days they are going to be working, so it’s simpler all round to say it’s suspended every day, rather than chopping and changing at short notice.

“The thing is, they’re not working seven days a week, 24 hours a day, so why do they need no parking seven days a week?”

Probably because they don’t want to waste the first couple of hours of each working day getting the cars that have been left there ignoring the restrictions removed.

The way I’m reading it, she went in to the shop, he was still in the car with the child. It’s not clear why he was unaware of the ticket – maybe he was asleep as well as the child…

If we go out and park anywhere, I’m terrified. If we are over a line or anything, we have got to park right in the middle. That’s what they’ve said to us.

It’s just a lack of humanity.

Umm – that is generally how parking’s supposed to work – did she think the lines were just there for decoration?

Well you couldn’t reasonably expect them to park somewhere else and then walk to the location, could you.

Don’t think much of their Kickstarter offer: “Get 20%” – what good is that without the other 80%?

Second the recommendation, but a minor correction for anyone trying to find it – it’s just “Things fell apart” – no ‘then’.

I suspect it might actually be more effective if it didn’t mention the fine.
