Opinion of the Hive Mind requested.....

[David]

With no intent of cutting a long story short....I wanted to contribute to the chaos of World Election year....I requested a postal vote .
I saw after that I would not be working and hence able to vote in person at our local Temple of Democracy....only I couldnt as the voting pack went on the fire pit. A few days later I picked up the poll card and noticed "If you have a postal vote, you cannot vote in person.

Shit....it's gone!"
But youcan get a replacement. Like now. Before 4p.m.
So of course, I pop i on the way back from work.....for North Somerset Council.

I park on the pavement (I am on the LE Velocette). 8 minutes later I emerge with a new postal vote.
Sitting, vaguely attached on my saddle was a yellow envelope. An unsealed envelope with a pcn in it....£70 bloody quid! About three quid more than I just earned today...to the same bloody council I was working for in an allied branch...
I always thought bikes stopped on the pavement in a town was fine if it is out of the way......am I wrong?

A parking fine is a parking fine, regardless of the reason for parking illegally.

It could be worse, you could have been riding an LE... oh.

Some bastard removed it before I got back. Unless the bike was stolen.

I have used the run out of petrol/broken down excuse a few times.

Isn’t walking bad enough without the pavement being covered in noddy bikes!

Not only a wasted journey, but an expensive one, you have my sympathy.
