Personally, I think Parent and Child spaces should be fair game after 9pm, but disabled spaces should never, ever be used by people who aren't entitled to use them.

I just looked that up - it's about a 90 min trip each way by public transport from ED! Add in the time spent in the cemetery, that would be about a four hour trip just to put flowers on a grave. That's really not going to be acceptable. If that's their proposed alternative, they've got no chance.

"Charity raises rent on shop" doesn't quite have the same emotional effect, does it?

15 Meg?? Over here in West London my "50" meg line drops to below 2 meg in the evenings. BT Infinity here I come.

The pollsters big excuse on how they got the election so wrong: "we asked the wrong people". Which Einstein worked that one out?

If you test speed on a wireless connection and the speed is good, then fine. But if you test it on a wireless connection and the speed is bad, then retest it with a wired connection, otherwise you can't be sure if the problem is your broadband or your wireless.

I hope we're fast approaching both peak Donald Trump and peak Jeremy Corbyn.

I'm happy to support the junior doctors, but that's not true, BB. They start on a basic pay of about that, but in reality they get about ?35k when they start after extras are added. You can be a junior doctor for many years and salary will rise in that time. Some registrars are on well over ?50-60k.

Estimates vary, but should the dead rise from their graves, there would be about 160-200bn. No problem for standing room, really.

If they are being picky, then I might suggest you consider that you mattress has probably shrunk a little and that it is now only 160x199cm.

You can still appeal the adjudicators decision if, as it seems in this case according to what you say, "the interests of justice require a review" as he/she has ignored the requirements under the Road Traffic Act. http://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/ruc/your-hearing/making-application-review-adjudicators-decision

Which organisation was your hearing with?

TFL will almost certainly dismiss your appeal, especially if it involves them admitting a box junction is incorrectly placed. After they have, you can take it on to the London Tribunal which is independent, so will be more open to such arguments.

As Loz says above, the offence occurs > when you enter the marked area, not once you are in it. Not quite. If there is a space to exit when you enter, you have a good chance of appeal. So, if someone cuts you up, then you have a good excuse. But if you enter hoping the exit will clear, you won't have much success in appealing. Bizarrely, on two lane roads, if the other lane is clear and you stop, people have successfully appealed as they were considered to have chosen to stop, rather than were forced to stop (as per the letter of the law)!

Lowlander Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It's a bus station, not a garage; so it is a road > (restricted to buses, so don't go driving there > either or they'll fine you!) The Road Traffic Act 1988 defines a ?road? as "in relation to England and Wales, means any highway and any other road to which the public has access, and includes bridges over which a road passes". I reckon it worth a try as a part of an argument.

You won't win by saying it's unfair and money making or the fine is too big. You might win if you appeal based on law. Box junction law is complex. There are a couple of websites out there that cover most of the bases - http://www.appealnow.com/parking-tickets/yellow-box-junctions/ http://yellowboxjunction.co.uk https://moneyboxjunction.wordpress.com/ They will give you a good idea on how you might appeal. It's mostly around the fact that the offence occurs when you enter the box, so at that point do you have any clear exit to the box. A user here called fredricketts I think successfully appealed on a yellow box ticket here. He's not been active here for a couple of years, but sending him an email might work. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,135592,708635#msg-708635 In the case of the bus station yellow box, I suspect (but I don't think this has ever been proven) that it is an illegal box junction. A box junction has the be at the junction of two roads - this is at the junction of a road and a bus garage. It would all depend on whether that entrance to the bus station is legally a road.

That's because everyone suspects you are only interested in the subject in order to try and stop a few trees being removed. If you stop intertwining the subjects, you may have more luck.

That could have been a courier delivery. Quite often they knock on neighbour's doors looking for someone in who will take the package.
