Years ago my colleague was working in Southampton, but could not park close to his customers shop (a pharmacy), so parked in a nearby street.

Couple of days later, the headline news in the local paper was about prostitution in an area of the city. Accompanied by a photo of the street, and his car and registration number was prominent in the front of the photo.

At Canterbury Cathedral today. Cathedral Constable at the gate to the parking, "That is not a scooter, that is a real bike!!"

I missed the message above. There is an Aldi 5 minutes ride from there as well, passed it on the way home!

Took the Multi shopping today, has a really fun ride and on the way home passed this so it seemed rude not to...

Assuming that's Ok, next one is your bike by a Big Yellow Van ( that means proper Transit/Sprinter/Vito or above, not the car based vans), just for old time's sake :)
