Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right

Contest it (unless you have parked in a very silly position and/or for an unreasonable term relative to the location). If you contest unsuccessfully then pay up quickly.


Massively annoying experience to many of us stopping for a couple of minutes on an errand/appointment/actually helping someone in need... when we see more serious civil breaches and crimes committed daily and without impunity?

I think that it's sarcasm as in "I innocently only stopped for a moment on a double yellow line to ...."


Entrapment -yes, the council have purposely painted double yellow lines where they know people stop just to generate revenue 😱

Look it it both ways - only the law abiding tax paying community spirited people like me get caught, when we see rrrrs who could't give a frig who have no social conscious speed, park on pavements, drive down bus lanes etc


Or the I am innocent, the signage was unclear etc etc.


I've been that as well, but disputing penalties has never got me anywhere.


There's a serious issue on proportionality - there is no simple warning system for those with a minor transgression, yet for example roads and time of day when there is zero enforcement of restrictions. Yet if you get stopped for undue care and attention you may well get a warning or go on a speed awareness course, rather than points and a fine. I've given up trying to make this point to government, local authorities etc. The negative side is that overzealous enforcement does alienate decent people.

I think you will find that when 'They' park on Yellow Lines 'They' are not actually breaking the Law.

Parking enforcement and the fine system that comes with it is a scam. Someone can go from not paying a ?40 PCN to literally owing thousands and losing their vehicle to bailiffs. How can that be right when more serious infractions, like driving with no insurance, have fines capped?

Blah blah, wait till fines for LTN infringements start piling up.


Still that's one way of reducing car usage, send in the bailiffs to seize the cars from people who accidently go into one of the new gated streets so that they will never ever do it again ! 😱


Shhhssss nobody suggest this to council officers 🤔

Worth noting in case this helps anyone - there are circumstances where it is legal to park for a period of time on double yellows when loading/unloading, but it does vary by borough. Southwark info is under the yellow lines section here https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/loading-and-unloading


My advice would be - check the time limit (40 mins in Southwark), make sure you are visibly loading/unloading - have a door or boot open if possible and particularly hazard lights on, do not block anything, don?t do it where it is forbidden (look for perpendicular yellow lines on the kerb), and pop a ?loading only? note on your dashboard. Hope this helps.


Edit: at your own risk of course!

      Day One Hairdresser

      By Azalea · Posted

      Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.

      BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.
