I agree with you about...Thank you for that comment. I agree with you about the "just pop in" brigade and the people who think the rules are there for everyone else. I have been trying to get Parking as an issue onto the Agenda for years. Unfortunaytely no matter what you do it will not be popular and hence no politician wants to grasp the nettle. <BR/><BR/>But, nil desperandum, as they used to say in the Roman Forum or more up to date "Don't let the Bu**ers grind you down"Steve Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789635827302727186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638854485316127014.post-6266244888381157082008-02-07T09:32:00.000+00:002008-02-07T09:32:00.000+00:00One issue that bothers me with this whole parking ...One issue that bothers me with this whole parking debate is that those objectors to such meetings stand and shout abuse at people like yourself for standing up and trying to do something about it, yet on the other hand many of these are guilty of it themselves.<BR/><BR/>Whilst they might 'toe-the-line' generally with the parking requirements, they certainly aren't averse to bending these rules when it suits them...<BR/><BR/>"Sorry mate, you can't park there!"<BR/>"But I'm only nipping in here to see someone/I'll be two minutes/I've got to pick the kids up" etc etc. It is this sort of wrong thinking that promotes others to think "well, they're doing it, why can't I?"<BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on business or service vehicles who think nothing of pavement parking whilst they are emptying bins, fixing roads, or even servicing someones gas boiler. They all seem to have a different rule book to everyone else!sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047923567680045438noreply@blogger.com
