kford

1982 Lancia Gamma Coupe. Worth about ?5-7k with the tyres pumped up.

Just bin them, and any other correspondence from repo-type companies, which, surprise, surprise often have the same PO Box address as the parking thieves.

This is that plaque with 1997 on it:

The plaque on the church they film is dated 1997.

I think that's by design. That's why there are low earth bunds, or banks around the edge of the playing fields, to contain a flood and stop it affecting local properties.

10 brilliant little Thomas and Friends stories. Books in great condition with a couple of them dog-eared. ?7

Lots of cars have them now. It holds you steady on a hill until you drive off and then automatically disengages. Hard to do handbrake turns with them though.

No, the junction which is the subject of this thread - East Dulwich Grove, Townley Road and Green Dale. The other end is fine as it is, with the crossing and central refuge. Lights just make drivers speed up, especially when they turn to amber. Watch how courteous and calm drivers are when traffic lights are out of action and they have to go back to old-fashioned eye contact.

This junction doesn't even need traffic lights

Remember the old government information film about treating treating bikes as if they are a small car? That.

But they will still issue a PCN for the 'offence' of not displaying a valid permit. Hence the OP's fine.

A CPZ wouldn't cover cinema parking as they typically run from 0800-1830. As someone who could be greatly affected by extra parking from cinema-goers, I'll accept that as a trade-off for the convenience of being near a cinema.

A ground anchor and substantial chain (not the cheaper, thinner Oxford chains) should keep them at bay for a while.

You'll still get a fine, for not displaying a permit. Happened to me once when mine fell off on a hot day.

Do this to Barry Road and watch the speed drop: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/88464/tfl-claims-removing-white-lines-from-roads-reduces-speeds

There are lots of smarter ideas - simply removing the white lines from a road can reduce speed, so can using red Tarmac.

Anywhere inside the M25 it's illegal to park on pavements of any sort, unless specified by signage.

As long as he's bringing in the dosh for APCOA and Southwark, he'll be working.

AND parked across a dropped kerb. There's another infringement and ?120 FPN.

I'm sure they're allowed to park on single lines, permit bays etc though.

I had one of the chains anchoring my bike chomped through with bold cutters this summer. Kids on a moped at 5am. Reported to police.

Not on the apex of a junction, and not while there to catch other motorists for the same offence.

Parked on double-yellows, obscuring sight-line: 'A double yellow line means that no parking is allowed at any time. Fixed-Penalty Notice (FPN) ?120.' (Southwark website) Parked with engine running: Regulation 98 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986: 'the engine must be switched off when stationary. FPN.' Using hand-held device while engine is running: classed as 'driving' FPN ?100 and three penalty points. No wonder the driver hot-footed it when I took this photo.

I agree, it's great for cheaper staples, like crumpets, standard cheese and milk, but it's no Lidl or Aldi or even Asda for real savings and range.

Amazon Market Place. Punitive fees though. Trouble is, CDs are over now. Lots of new cars don't even have a CD player in.
