Canarians don't take parking too seriously here.
There was a kiddy inside as well. But wasn't stressed

The same could be said for bumming, sticking nails up your nose and Morris dancing though I suppose.

But I would rather drink the marmite beer,,,,



Though one thought does occur (that should be it for today).....Marmite is a by product of beer....so this beer is a by product of it's by product...

Don't be thilly....marmite is about as veggy as you like....it's just yeast (mostly dead) and salt.

There is a blind chap who lives in our little town,he uses a guide dog to get around. Close to where he lives drivers park up on the pavement,making his journey very difficult,plus Phoenix gas have been digging up the whole world for the last couple of years,adding further complication to his A to B.

People can be uncaring or unthinking.

I remember waiting for a lift to work outside the post office years ago and there was an old blind guy I used to talk to there (called Isaac and he'll be long dead now) he said that bin day was always hard work cos of where everyone put the bins next to their walls/pavements.

Maybe it needs something like HelpforHeroes to take it on, now that there is a higher profile for veterans.

It's fairly standard along this road to have two wheels on the pavement. Some time back, the council removed small grass strips between the kerb and path, then tarmacked to ease parking like this.

Usually there's plenty of space.

Problem comes when, like matey has, people park much further in, and particularly where there's (sometimes the same people's) overhanging trees and hedges. That's compounded on bin day (and the evening before).

TBF the hedge is taking up as much space. FPN for the householders.

I now fully meet the criteria for my username! Priested in Rochester Cathedral today. Lovely day, fantastic service and later I'll head out and fetch my daughter from her friend at midnight. Priest I am, Daddy I will always be.
