Sorry, totally forgot to say what I was going to say in the first place. No, Hillsborough is not a one way street and that is obviously for good reason. But what is wrong with parents trying to make it work for all involved by going in one way and going out another for half an hour a day? Anybody who has ever been in the unfortunate situation of having to go through this road at school time may think it is a good idea. Random parking, dropping off etc on both sides of the road are really dangerous and the traffic jam causes road rage with no extra help needed. Obviously...doing the vigilante thing is overstepping the mark on many levels...and I think you should be cross Knackered Cow, I would be. But most of these people take their children to school and go off to work, they don't like driving through this road any more than anybody else would.

Very rarely does this forum make me cross. I find it most useful on many an occasion. BUT how dare you Burbage use such language talking about other people and their children. 'nauseating spawn' - what makes you say such appalling things about young children??? What is it that enrages you so much?

Son 1 and son 2 are almost 4 years apart and we are all loving it. They are now almost 12 and 8, getting on very well (most of the time), there is no direct competition and child 1 was really keen to have a sibling when it happened. No jealousy ever! He was at nursery 3 days a week while i was at work and he was used to dealing with "small"kids so he just loved having "his own". So, for us the bigger gap really worked! Good luck with whatever you choose, I am sure you make it work...it will be fine.

2 main courses (1 pizza, 1 pasta dish) and 2 espresso came to just under ?14.00. Not bad in my books!

Mr lillyanginger and I tried the new pizza place for a very quick lunch today - it was very good. Pizza thin and lovely, the pasta dish tasty. Good espresso, cake and water on the house...we will go again. Good luck to them.

You have just made me smile...will probably refrain from parking on LL with the landmines coming...

Guys, I never disputed the guilt factor. I am ok about being caught (ish). But do you really think ?120 is ok to be fined for parking wrongly - and I would like to add I was NOT in anybodys way, sticking over edges or in a buslane. Is it inflation? Where is the money going? Clearly not in better local transport and extending our services. If that was the case, perhaps I would feel (ever so slightly) better.

Yes, ?60 for immediate payment..but still... how come they can charge soooo much?

I got a parking ticket on LL yesterday. Sadly, the ticket was issued correctly as I had parked illegaly. BUT...?120??? Hello??? I will pay my ?60 but really feel that this amount of money did not "fit the crime". Has either of you any idea where I can challenge why they charge such ridiculous money? As I said, I am not disputing that I have done wrong...but THAT wrong? Who sets these fees? I have not had a ticket for a while so I was seriously gutted about my own stupidity.
