Enforcement is widely ignored, pedestrians are left to struggle around these obstructions and drivers care only about their own convenience. What's needed is something like the Catclaw:

Yes, it has obvious drawbacks but something that turns the tables on selfish drivers is long overdue.
(And don't have a heart attack, it's just a concept to provoke discussions on pavement parking, not a real product.)

Let's find out!
That's given Doughty Cakes good publicity!
Now everyone on CycleChat who has clicked on the link has seen the full range of their products, including their 'Olimp' protein bars and snacks.
I like it, that's a catchy name for a product which would be of interest to sporting types:biggrin:

I must admit, I do like the look of their product.
I am getting worried about you @Drago, that could almost be a plus for Facebook (ie making you aware of those products), and, if I am not mistaken, up thread you were talking of taking photographs of offending pavement parkers, could a smartphone with camera be on the cards? ;)

Thought so too. I've bought a few as well when I've been visiting my eldest in Lincoln; they do make decent cakes :okay:. No PR is bad PR and all that stuff :whistle:

Not quite as good as Cooplands' Danish's but decent all the same.

Please dont do that. The guys manager has responded positively, assures me the driver is going to get a good bollarding, and Im happy with that. I don't want to be seen to be an arse just for the sake of it, so I'd be grateful if you could take that down from Faecesbook please @mjr.
Are you sure? y/n

After all, it's brought this topic to a nicer conclusion and now there's a link to their products. I'll remove it if you like, nonetheless.

If you could remove it @mjr I'd be grateful. Id emailed the firm early am and they responded pretty quickly, but I didn't see my emails until some time later. By the time id seen their already several hour old reply youd posted your FB bit.

Its not a problem chum, you werent to know, but they did respond quickly and positively and that being the case it wouldn't be fair to hassle them further.

Heck,that's a bit extreme. Have they thought about how long that obstructive vehicle will be there while the owner gets someone to come out to repair/replace the popped tyres?🤔
