I could be wrong but from memory of my own experience of parking my motorbike many years ago it commits some form of highway offence as the vehicle had to travel across the pavement to the designated area. So unless it was parachuted in an astute police officer could probably book it.

...where there is no dropped kerb:


from http://www.direct.gov.uk/


"It is illegal to build a crossing over a public footpath without a certified crossing or dropped kerb. This is to ensure that the crossing is strong enough to take the weight of the vehicle and does not create a hazard for pedestrians and other footpath and road users. "

I've been into the shop a few times and have generally had good experiences. They've been around for ages. I first bought a mini disc player about 7 years ago and bought headphones, speaker cables and empty CDs.


They seem to stock more pricey items now. Surprised they didn't sell speaker cable to some customers as they certainly did some time ago.


Regarding the cars, that's news to me. Do they have any good deals? :-)

I don't know what's going on. But I'll take a guess.


The guy's owned the shop for years. Maybe he owns the property. One day, his mate says "'ere, Tone.. do us a favour and stick my old car outside your shop.. I want to get shot of it". The car goes outside the shop.


Meanwhile, Sebastian Media has just bought a plush 4-bedder on Friern. He invites his Islington pals down to wow them with the delights of Moo 2 blah blah.. only to turn the corner and see a crumbling Almera plonked on the pavement with ?599! stuck on the front, hand-written in a black marker pen. He's not happy.. his pals laugh.. he looks like a right plum.


The complaints begin to roll-in, but Hi-Fi man is undeterred. He digs his heels in and finds-out what his rights are. They include roping-off a section of the shop forecourt using bits and pieces found in a skip - guaranteed to annoy the complainers even more. Bring it on.


I love the fact that there's now a large neon sign in the window saying "CARS FROM ?499" or something like that. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Hat's off to him.. It makes me laugh every time I walk past.

Getting the car from the road to the area in front of their shop would be an offence, and they certainly wouldn't be able legally to use the dropped kerb outside EDT (at the crossing) for that purpose, as this would require them to drive along the pavement to get the vehicle to their property.


I always thought that a licence was required to sell secondhand cars, particularly from retail premises. Surely it's also a change of use. If so, it makes Cafe Nero's planning infringement seem quite minor.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
