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.

...not yet. Wait until most cars are 100g/km or less or electric, then they'll find a way of taxing us again.

Looked like an ad. Maybe even just a print campaign as crew was small.

According to the Census, in 1901 there were three families - eight people - crammed into our Victorian three-bed terrace in ED. No bathroom, and an outside loo. God knows how they managed.

It is. But the Gormley bollard opposite it is at 45 degrees this morning.

Chinese lantern:

Bet you one pot of coffee at the Actress that this thread's going to go to at least six pages.

Dull generic chain

Edited: I thought it would be to make it look like the improvements on the rest of the road, with grey/dark grey blocks instead of red bricks probably, but it's just tarmac. Must be because the red bricks shifted under the weight of the buses hammering them every hour.

One of the Oxford chains anchoring my motorbike to the house was boltcut the other night. I think I heard a scooter zoom off early one morning (05:30ish), which could be related.

I think it's purely to match the new grey stone raised tables just installed up the road from there. ?30k says I'm right.
